Get a turtle

turtle name
#name

POOL allows for programming concurrent tasks of many turtles. Each turtle has its unique name. Turtles can be accessed with this name in case they are not available through any variable. In analogy to the thing instruction, there is a single-character abbreviation of the turtle instruction: symbol #, which requires a name constant at the input.

Example:
Commands should be issued sequentially in the command line.

;command 1:
make "t (newt)

;command 2:
tto :t

;command 3:
print who

;command 4:
tto #first

;command 5:
print who

Output:

t1
first
