- <p>Basic turtle commands such as <a class="reference internal" href="turtle.html#turtle.forward" title="turtle.forward"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">forward()</span></code></a> are added to a

The argument is
- converted to a number and dispatched to the turtle module. The docstring is
- used in the help utility provided by the shell.</p>
