roci man

roci man shows how a word is written, without leaving the terminal. It reads the same data as the reference, so the two always agree.

roci man                 every word, one line each
roci man circle          how circle is written, with an example for each form
roci man for each        a word of two parts

A word is a verb (circle), a statement (repeat, check) or a built-in value (mouse, turtle). For a verb it shows each form it can be written in, which parts are optional, and an example:

circle
  Draws a circle around a point.

  circle at x y radius radius [fill color] [stroke color] [thickness number] ...
      for example circle at 100 100 radius 50

A word in square brackets is a connecting word you may leave out. A word that does not exist gets the nearest one, as it does in a sketch.

The reference on this site adds a picture for every word, and the guides teach the words in order. roci man is for the moment you only need to remember the order of the parts.
