Sorry about the ambiguity. I will add TRANS notes to these strings.

In this case, shift is used to shift the palette over to the left or
right, up or down, in order to reveal sections that ran off the
screen.

Push is a jargon term from computer science. (It's counter term is
Pop.) Push is used to add a value to a stack (more jargon). Pop
removes a value from the stack. (I use the term heap in Turtle Art to
disambiguate it from a stack of blocks.) See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_%28abstract_data_type%29 for more
details.

In this case, the calibration is a set of red, green, and blue values
used to match the colors of an object the turtle is following. You can
store these values to be used again later to once again follow the
same object.

Perhaps it should the say, "the angle to the center". This is the
angle that the turtle must turn in order to face the center of the
screen.

As per above, this is the angle the turtle must turn to face its
opponent in Sumo.
