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
