Hello,

Simple. Look at how REMOVE works:

REMOVE "T1
REMOVE "T2
You can replace T1 or T2 by "current turtle". To do that, you use "who", as in:
REMOVE WHO

Now when you use EVERYONE, as in
EVERYONE [DO_THIS]
you're really saying:
ASK "T1 [DO_THIS]
ASK "T2 [DO_THIS]
ASK "T3 [DO_THIS]
and so on, for all the turtles you have on the page.

Therefore, the correct syntax for what you want to do is:
EVERYONE [REMOVE WHO]
which will do:
ASK "T1 [REMOVE WHO] (or "remove yourself")
ASK "T2...

Careful with clone. I think the same technique will work (EVERYONE [CLONE WHO]) but depending on the context: I've seen some complex cases of turtles being cloned while cloning some more and this can create quite a mess in process management.

I am having trouble with the EVERYONE command. I have noticed that
things you can do to specific turtles, especially CLONE and REMOVE
cannot be done to EVERYONE . EVERYONE [REMOVE] does not work. Is
there any way to make the CLONE and REMOVE commands compatible with
EVERYONE?
