I shall try ybasic, thanks.
But after the horror of trying xbasic and qbasic and all the others, I do not expect much success. All were created by techies who suffer from techie-disease... an absolute assumption that everyboddy who downloads their compiler will instantly and miraculously know how to use it. The manuals are gibberish. There is nothing at all resembling a simple place to write line by line code and simply typr "run".
Hmm, if you use a "modern" BASIC be prepared for more frustration. There are many, many different flavors of BASIC and there's no guarantee they'll be compatible with your books.
On the other hand, there's only one flavor of Python and one flavor of Java...
