There's a reason powerbasic has the word power in it's name. If you want to know everything it can do, go read their web page, they have a complete feature set, and you can even download the manuals if you like, and read them in full before ever purchasing the product. I'm not much of a

Just a quick correction, the classic version of powerbasic (console version is only $89, though the classic gui version is $99. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Where else can you get a professional compiler that produces small fast code for 89 bucks? I say, nowhere. So, go get
