Folks,
I guess this is again the problem of GW-Basic vs. VisualBasic. What I've
seen of VB so far shows that Gates' goons have done a great job on making
BASIC a real programming language. But for a beginners' language it's
needlessly cryptic, and the original BASIC like GW-Basic or the C64's
dialect didn't have funcion and handler calls, and thus are waaaay outdated.
Let's say we stick with OpenTalk but make sure we provide hooks to allow
inclusion of OSA languages, Perl, Java or BASIC etc. at a later time.
Cheers,
