Drawing ten stairs graphically ought to be easy:

If not, then this is a bug.

I have to agree to that if you want to produce an SVG drawing
using Turtle/LOGO then adding SVG export to a full featured
Turtle implementation will probably be a more satisfactory
solution for you.

Having said that, it ought to be possible to add a LOGO
interpreter to Inkscape or (possibly more plausibly) provide
a means for Inkscape to communicate with an external
Turtle/LOGO interpreter. I would have that part of the DOM which
was generated externally be initally shown as a pink
rectangle or region, and refreshed as required, rather
as Javascript does with AJAX.

It would, of course, be better to do this in Javascript
first.

A Turtle tool would not be my first thought, but I have to
admit that if I saw one, I would try it out: can you give
an account of its characteristics and how it would be used?
