Heh.
I took a computer class once that was supposed to educate us on the
workings of BASIC. It was really a waste of my time because I knew more
about it than the instructor did.
One guy had written a piece of code that was something like:
If a<>b and c<>d then do this.
The instructor had no clues why it did not work.
When I wanted to do an input statement, I always included the semicolon at
the end.
input a$;
She always marked it as wrong.
For those of you who may still be interested in BASIC, you might want to
take a look at "liberty basic". www.libertybasic.com
It's BASIC on steroids and functions inside windows.
I find it very helpful when wanting to make a huge list of something.
LB also has some similarities to PHP.
