uhh, you could learn delphi...
True but I was trying to make a point
I learnt pascal in school and quit my computing classes before we moved on to delphi (didn't work with my timetable and what I wanted). But the knowledge of pascal has helped me with using JScript for te scripting in MP!L and gave me confidence in programming and trying new things with things like this. I might not be as good as CookieRevised or TB (or will be anywhere near as good) but both of them, just like anyone else, have to relise that jst because you like something and see it's use as the epitome of programming languages doesn't mean it is (and nor does that mean that it isn't either), every program serves a purpose, if it is to help beginners get feel for programming then that's as useful, if not more useful than the likes of VB or C++ or whatever else someone likes to use for their whiz-bang programs.
