I disagree.  Instead of using a command driven programming lanuage,
like BASIC, C, Fortran, etc., I highly suggest using something more
object oriented.

HyperCard for the Mac would be my first suggestion.

I don't know that much about Smalltalk, nor the Apple IIe, but I
seem to regard that there is a very interesting SmallTalk application
for the Apple IIe.
