I recently began using Microsoft BASIC Ver. 2.0, and am really impressed 
at the ease with which you can program in the "Mac" environment!

They've made it *SIMPLE* to deal with most user-interface aspects of the 
Mac, including menus, dialog boxes with various types of buttons and 
edit fields, mini-finders, etc, and have even provided for asynchronous 
traps to allow unsolicited activity from any of these areas!

Of course, the only problem is that program execution speed is slow, 
compared to a compiler.  

(An idea for someone with lots of time who wants to make lots of money:  
"What we REALLY need is a compiler which will take as input any valid
Microsoft BASIC Ver. 2 source file.")
