And HOW!  I think it is a VERY sophisticated language, as a whole.

Ahh yes.  Gimme some GLOBAL variables..  This was one of my biggest gripes
about B09.  If you're trying to write a very large and involved program, and
the bad part about M-W basic is that it is VERY capable of doing so.., and you
have forty-'leven sub-modules, and suddenly you realize you need to add one
more little field to that "TYPE" that occurs in almost every single module; it
seems like you can NEVER find them all .  I think this is about the only -
well one of the very few - aspects that make it inferior to C from a
programming standpoint.
