grab number [list of commands]
Caller instructs turtles with who number(s) number(s)
to execute [list of commands] . The who number
of the turtles being grab bed are stored in partner ,
if there is one, or partners , if there are many. A turtle
cannot grab itself.
Note: Grab is only useful for guaranteeing that a turtle you want to
talk to is not being talked to by anyone else and cannot talk to anyone
else while being grabbed. Note, while one turtle is grabbing another,
neither may be grabbed by a third turtle.
Examples:
grab one-of-turtles-here [setc red setc-of partner blue]
This turns the caller red and the grab bed turtle blue. If there are no other turtles on the caller's patch, the [list of commands] does not get executed and no turtles change color.
