Thanks, Ricardo, that is helpful.
But in Yoshikis' Turtle Geometry project, how does the "number" become assigned in the first place? Where does the parameter get a value?

Parameters are a nice way of defining a variable local to the script. Adding a parameter to a script makes the script a little different in the sense that it doesn't tick anymore but it has to be manually called from another script (providing a value for the parameter). It's a very useful mechanism and a good example could be the #polygon: script in the "Turtle Geometry" project.

OK, so I found the reference to parameters in the Floss manual, but I don't understand it. Can someone help out?
Thanks!
