Sorry, can't post to comp.sys.apple2 at the moment.

But here's the scoop on it.  It's part of the Lego Logo package which was 
used for educational purposes in schools.  Kids would build models to 
meet certain specifications and test them out by programming them in the 
Logo programming language.  It was developed by MIT and I imagine 
distributed by DACTA.  You could try contacting either one to see where 
you might be able to get the software.  If they no longer produce it, I 
can check with someone here to see if they might still have it in there 
school system to see if I can get a hold of it.
