Underlined Set can be removed from a primitive name in order to return information.
eg. SetHeading sets the heading of the turtle. Heading returns the heading of the turtle.

Note

ZoneSize cannot be set.

ResetAll is useful when distributing your XLogo programs to others. It resets all preferences to known default values (and clears the screen). This ensures your program will run the same on another machines.
