DW->-> BASIC = Best All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code!
 DW-> Love it!
 DW-> Of course, "best" is a loaded word. BASIC is great for a lot of
 DW-> purposes, but not as good as other languages for others.
 DW-> "All-purpose" simply isn't true.
 Basic indeed is a powerful and easy to learn language. One can accomplish
 a lot with it. Personally I used it to create various programs for my
 business including:
    A billing program
    An inventory control program
    A statement creation program
    A mailing list program to print labels
 And then I purchased QB4.5 and I was thrilled that I could now compile
 these programs and run them without first loading GWBASIC.
