Actually, that's not a bad way to fly. I, too, open the old shareware catalog before breaking out the code books. There really are some very, very talented folks in the world, huh? I like the shareware concept. It works for me, as well. My point in learning BASIC is not to become a programmer but to be able to modify BASIC code, or fix problems, or at the very least, be closer to your computer. The Model T's are so easy to be close to that for me to ignore BASIC from discussions and proding would be to deny someone the opportunity to experience something of great value in personal computing, i.e., the "feel" of direct control over the machine. -Rick-
