  So ... you've now been told about Realiser, VX-REXX and Visual REXX.

  But if BASIC is your thing, then you should also take a look at JBA
  Guidelines.

  The main programming language used in Guidelines, JOT, bears a strong
  resemblance to Visual BASIC, with forms, controls, properties, events,
  methods, strings, images, ... all that jazz.

  For example, here is the code to change the contents of an entry field
  when you click on a button :

     VOID Frame1.PushButton1.Click ()
          Frame1.EntryField1.Text = "The button was clicked"
     END

  You can obtain the JBA Guidelines Base Pack version 3.1 (GBASE31n.ZIP
  and GBASEDOC.ZIP) for evaluation from Fidonet (it's on the Fernwood
  Filebone, so any site around the world taking that filebone should
  have it available for FREQ) or from CompuServe in OS2AVEN (the
  official support forum for JBA Guidelines).

  Version 3.2 is due out sometime within the next couple of months.

  For the advanced developer, additional packs, covering areas from
  AS/400 connectivity to DB2/2 support, including specialised controls
  such as digital clocks, grids, and toolbars, and extension function
  libraries for such areas as financial and calendar work, are available
  from JBA.
