NAME

       Scratch - An easy to use interactive programming environment for ages 8 and up.

Description

       Scratch  is  an  easy,  interactive,  collaborative  programming  environment designed for
       creation of interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art -- and sharing these on
       the  web.  Scratch  is  designed to help young people (ages 8 and up) develop 21st century
       learning  skills.  As  they  create  Scratch  projects,  young  people   learn   important
       mathematical  and  computational  ideas,  while also gaining a deeper understanding of the
       process of design.  This man page contains basic information about Scratch. For additional
       information, see the Scratch website at http://scratch.mit.edu.

OPTIONS

       Options  are  set  through  the  .scratch.ini  file  in  the  user's  home  directory. For
