Any hints on this one?

I'm unclear where to start for the instructions and how many units the forward commands actually mean....

And in what order to follow the instructions....

Like many of the puzzles, it's possible to do by hand.

Maybe not perfectly, but well enough to discern.

Order:

Which direction would you typically read code, or a book for that matter?

Units:

Do units really matter, as long as you're consistent?

I get to read the instructions from top to bottom starting with the left column and then moving to the right column, but what I get when I do that makes no sense to me.  Any other ideas?

You have to figure out a good direction to start in, and make sure to keep track of the direction of the turtle, since each turn is relative to that.

For me the first couple letters came out at an angle, but the last part was more clear.
