interesting.  It seems as if the tracer property is a global one:

In [1]:t1=Turtle()

In [2]:t1.tracer()
Out[2]:1

In [3]:t1.tracer(False)

In [4]:t1.tracer()
Out[4]:0

In [5]:t2=Turtle()

In [6]:t2.tracer()
Out[6]:0

In [7]:t2.tracer(True)

In [8]:t1.tracer()
Out[8]:1

looks like I need to set the tracer manually.

however, even if the tracer is off, shouldn't it still draw the  
line?  when I put in the T.tracer(True) it works, but I shouldn't  
need to I think.

Turtle is given in turtle.py.  I should have subclassed it, but I was  
being lazy.  :)

thanks for the fast replies!
