Hi all,
Just wanted to ask:
  Is Visual BASIC a visual programming language?

Thanks,
Sherif

PS No flames intended.
PPS The following is a definition of VLs based on [Myers, 1989].
-----------------------------------------------------------
A visual language is a language that allows its users to
specify their constructs in two or more dimensions.
Examples of such languages include: flowcharts and dataflow
diagrams.

@incollection{Mye,
 author = "Myers, B. A.",
 title = "The State of the Art in Visual Programming and Program Visualization",
 editor = "Kilgour, A. and Earnshaw, R.",
 Booktitle = "Graphics Tools for Software Engineers",
 publisher = "Cambridge University Press",
 year = "1989"
}
