   VY GM Ed,   
      
   EV> "My way of thinking" doesn't restrict the abbrev. PC only to the   
   EV> XP computer IBM made and the copies other Companies made using that   
   EV> 8088 CPU.   
      
   I suppose that you mean XT!   
      
   EV> All those ARE Personal Computers TOO! imnsho.   
      
   OK, that's up to you.   
      
    EV> I remember Kurt Kuzba(sp?) wrote one saying "Basic Can't Do This",   
    EV> but IT Did!   
      
   Yes, Basic could do all kinds of things given the amount of memory it   
   needed. It was also a very good first step to learn programming.   
      
   EV> If I can find a copy of the QBasic program I wrote about above, I'll   
   EV> send a copy to Your Email Address so You can look at what Kurt did.   
      
   That would require Basic installed on one of my machines and I am not   
   going to do that, sri.   
      
   EV> The OS/2 book I have didn't mention BASIC specifically but did say   
   EV> that OS/2 would run MS-DOS programs.   
      
   Yes it does run DOS programs very nicely but a Basic interpreter wasn't   
   included and even though I do have PC-DOS installed on a partition I   
   haven't included Basic.
