I played with a tetrahedron a while back:

to tetrahedron
   triangle
   rt 30 up 54.7 rr 54.7
   triangle
   fd 100 rt 150 down 54.7 lr 54.7 
   triangle
   rr 2*54.7+180 
   triangle
end

to triangle
    repeat 3 [fd 100 rt 120]
end


Not a "neat" solution, though. (rr - RIGHTROLL lr- LEFTROLL)

comp.lang.logo is a useful and friendly newsgroup, if that helps.
