Hello people,

Can anyone please explain to me the meaning of Pen Down?

What is the context?

 

[prattsishunk]

I don't know actually...
Just got an expression on my status, as Pen Down!

That's it!

Without context it makes no sense at all to me.

If it's a status for something like messaging, it could mean that the person is not writing anything- inactive.

Other possibilities:

• Traditional command given by invigilators after an exam.
• A command in Turtle Graphics - a popular beginners' programming language. (Well, popular about 35 years ago - there was an implementation on CPM, which dates it.).
• ...

See? Context is eveyrthing.

Bob, you might find it interesting to know that a bazillion years ago my brother was getting his doctorate at MIT and I got to play with the early, early Turtles. If was way cool.

Wow ;-) Cool indeed! It was such a neat idea - I'm surprised there isn't a version that runs on the X-Box or PS2! (Maybe there is... :-?))
