Commodore puts out a version derived from the same Terrapin LOGO
as the Apple ][ uses.
I bought C= LOGO years ago for $39.00. About 1 yr ago I picked up a
new C64 version for $1.00, including the ~200pp. manual! The original
manual was a huge 9x11" book but the new manual had a reduced format,
about 5x8". The smaller format is more convenient, IMO. It's a
pretty nice little system, though I never did anything ``serious''
with it. So look around on those back shelves for those ``slow
moving'' items. (For some reason LOGO never caught on big.)
You might also want to look into COMAL. It has Turtle graphics like
LOGO, but is more of a cross between Pascal and BASIC. Comal 0.14 is
available free for the C64. There was a magazine called Comal Today,
but it's been a couple of years since I heard anything on it.
Both languages take quite a while to load (C64 + 1541) and don't leave
a whole lot of space left for serious programming. There was supposed
to be cartridges available for LOGO and COMAL 2.0, but I've never seen
them. The cartridges would leave more space for the user program.
Good luck.--
