I'm not a PC Logo user, but my guess is that this depends on the amount
of memory in your computer, unless perhaps Windows imposes some limit.

If there is a PROCEDURES primitive, it will give you a list of the names
of all the procedures. I dunno if PC Logo has one.
But perhaps you should ask yourself if some of those 100 procedures can be
eliminated. If there are some near-duplicates, you could write one common
procedure that takes an input to specify which alternative to use. I mean,
to take a trivial example, if you have
to smallsquare
repeat 4 [fd 50 rt 90]
end
to bigsquare
repeat 4 [fd 100 rt 90]
end
then you could replace them with
to square :size
repeat 4 [fd :size rt 90]
end
You probably don't have anything that obvious, but maybe you have some less
obvious combinable procedures.

POTS prints out the procedure names, but only about 90 lines
and POPS prints out what each procedure has in it, but again I only get to
see the last 90 lines at this point. Is there anyway to increase the number
of lines that is "scrollable"?

and for LIST ELEMENTS, I changed the number from 5,000.
When I changed the number to 50,000 it tried changing the set-up for the
restart of LOGO.
BUT everytime I try to restart LOGO it gives me an error message telling me
that the memory to is too much and to CLOSE the program. It does not let me
change the value to smaller value.
On another computer in the lab I've moved the LIST ELEMENTS first to 6,000 ,
then 10,000 and now 20,000 and at this point it seems to work fine. How high
can I raise the LIST before it crashes the program?
Apparently there are about/over 100 small procedures that I am working with
(The file is 15 KB at this point.). Is there a way to see all the procedures
listed POTS only shows 90? lines. How about being able to see the
instructions in each procedure? POPS only shows the last 90? lines so it
surely doesn't allow me to see many of the procedures unless I ask
individually ED, TO, or EDIT?
ANY advice would be greatly appreciated.

all procedures currently in workspace in an editor. You can print them
from the edit window or search for any text string within the editor.
PROCLIST will put your procedure titles in a list. You can then use
that list to arrange the procedure titles in the order you prefer or
test to see if a particular procedure is in the list. PROCEDURE? will
tell you if a particular procedure is defined.

this amount in the PCLOGO2.INI file in your Windows directory. If you
make the value too large for the amount of memory in your computer, Logo
is unable to allocate that amount which prevents it from loading. You
can fix this by editing the PCLOGO2.INI file, which is a text file.
In the file you will find the statement NODES=nnnn where nnnn is the
number you set for list space. Change the 50000 to 10000 or a number
that works on your other machines and then try starting Logo again.
