Grid Redstone.png  Function turtle.drop
Drops all items in the selected slot, or if count is specified, drops that many items.

If the space in front of the turtle does not contain a chest, the items are dropped into that space. If the space in front of the turtle contains a chest, the items are dropped into that chest. The items will be placed in the first available slot, starting at the top left, moving right and then down.

turtle.dropUp and turtle.dropDown are also available, and useful for loading furnaces; dropUp when below a furnace will load the items as fuel in the furnace's bottom slot, while dropDown when above the furnace will load the top slot for smelting.
Syntax turtle.drop([int count])
Returns boolean true if an item was dropped; false otherwise.
