I am teaching a BASIC class under VMS.  (No flames please, I druther be
teaching c/Unix any day!!!  (Some of us paeons don't make these decisions.))
I try valiantly to teach it as a full structured language using the nifty
control flow structures analogous to C, i.e. ITERATE <---> continue,
EXIT <---> break, etc.  I have a beastly reputation at the school for
being so nasty as not to allow my students to use goto statements.  The
problem is there is no textbook I have found which is consistent in
philosophy with this approach.  Does anybody know of one?  There is a book
called Structured Basic Programming by Harry A. Moriber, published by
Merril.  I'm not sure my comments on that book would even be allowed in
net.flame.  Suffice it to say I have no idea what he means by "structured",
but it sure isn't what I mean.

If anyone knows of a good book I'd appreciate it.  Please mail me any replies
-- I check news on out-of-town machines.  -Thanks.
