!Background
PILOT is an extremely simple programming language written in 1968 explicitly for teaching programming to children. The language consists of one-letter commands followed by a colon, one per line, with a very limited set of operations. Variables are prefixed with $, and labels with a *.
Atari PILOT is unique in that it added a set of commands for turtle graphics. This made it compete more directly with LOGO, another language intended for teaching programming.
!Example
The following is a simple Hello World in PILOT:\\
\\
R:Hello World in PILOT\\
T:What is your name?\\
A:$NAME\\
R:Hello $NAME!\\
E:\\
\\
R is a "remark", similar to the REM statement in BASIC, T is "type", the equivalent of PRINT, and A is "accept", the equivalent to INPUT.
