That's more features that fit comfortably in teaching a lesson, but might not be too many in guided discovery over several sessions. With the hints given above, you should be able to see what every part of this Logo program is, but not necessarily how all of the parts fit together. That will require careful reading, including comparing definitions with their uses, and lots of experiments. For some learners, that's the best part of all. For others, including many teachers, it is a useful lesson in tolerating your own ignorance while you seek to discover something you didn't know. Anyway, we don't have to require that everybody discover everything. Students can share discoveries, which is another particularly useful lesson in itself.
