- Rob,
- Have you considered REXX? It comes with OS/2 and is superior to BASIC,
- is, in some ways, similar to Pascal (yet without all that type-constrictions).
- All variables are strings.... They are defined as they are used... Give it a
- try. REXX = one of the best kept "secrets" of OS/2...

- Cheers,
