Powerbasic comes with 2 books.one is a userguide that explains syntax
and how to do a lot of simple things,it has exaples and is very complete.
the other book is called the reference guide.it has detailed info on
every command and is very nice.both are loaded with juicy,easy to
understand info.
 Powerbasic also comes with built in help in the ide and it is also
chock full of good stuff.
there is also this ng and the bbs at www.powerbasic.com,and a ton of
webpages around the web.Nice support if i must say so.
 
I am poor and getting bang for my buck is VERY important to me,Powerbasic
is in my opinion worth the $150.00 i paid for it.
