Mark,

I think the problem might be that you may have used "Start Turtle"  
instead of "StartTurtle"

There should be no spaces. Try just copying and pasting the script  
into a button on the Turtle Graphics stack. If you use it outside of  
the Turtle Graphics stack, you will need to do a "Start Using  stack..."

Hope this helps.
