Sorry it took so long to reply. I'm the original poster. I guess I didn't see the post asking why Pascal. As I said, I'm fifteen. It's very difficult for a 15 year old to sit down and learn a computer language, like a did a long time ago with BASIC. So I had to take a course. The only courses were at a local college, and the only "distance" courses were a sequence in Pascal. I'm currently finishing up the first course in the sequence, and I've just started "Learning C on the Macintosh" so that I'll know both. C actually look very similar to Pascal, and some things seem to be harder, like putting %d or whatever in a write statement, but I'll be able to handle it, it may be more convenient, but I really haven't used it that much to tell yet. Getting back to Pascal, I don't think the person who replied was criticizing me for learning Pascal, I think he was just asking why. Thanks for replying to everybody who did. -Scott
