Kam:  Like I have mentioned in my posts, I have written applications in many
languages.  They are all different.  I will, however, say that BASIC, VFP
and Python are very similar!  Years ago I compiled my QuickBasic code in
FoxPro and corrected the errors.

I recommend continuing what you are doing and experiment with Python when
you have time.  There are several great books.  One of my favorite is the
"Python Phrasebook".

You will be surprised how quickly you come up to speed in Python.  Also,
everyone talks about the VFP community.  Well, you will be surprised at the
Python community and the number of frameworks.
