You might consider Scheme, a dialect of Lisp.  PC-Scheme from Texas 
Instruments is a solid implementation running under DOS. I think Students
here at IU buy it for $30 or $40 with a manual but I think that is under 
an educational site license. I am not sure who to call or write
but there is a customer response address in my manual:

	Texas Instruments Inc.
	Data Systems Group
	ATTN: PC Sustaining
	P.O. Box 2909 M/S 2234
	Austin, Texas 78769-9990
