Now, now, now - you can write bad code in any language - or you can write
good code. I worked with someone who learned RPL first and her RPL code was
very easy to read and maintain. She did not want to learn Basic because the
Basic programmers who had preceeded us at that site wrote cryptic (and
bug-ridden) Basic. When I showed her my code, she was amazed - she had
thought that Basic required the unreadable style she had seen from the
others.
I actually liked RPL!

When I see difficult UNIBASIC code, I just remember RPL.

Currently the system uses the following coding structure:
OPEN 'HPMAST.FILE' TO F1 ELSE STOP
OPEN 'HPCONTRACT' TO F2 ELSE STOP
OPEN 'HPTRANS.FILE' TO F3 ELSE STOP
READ F1R FROM F1, KEY THEN...
READ F2R FROM F2, KEY THEN...
READ F3R FROM F3, KEY THEN...
F1R<36,X> = F2R<13> / F3R<82> * F1R<8> + F3R<43>
Just understanding the code takes a lot of backwards and forwards thru
code.
