Now wasnt that fun? You are probally thinking that it was tooo easy but really it isnt. Qbasic is just basic. This is the first step into becoming a programmer. Baby steps. Qbasic will help you learn the structer for other master languages to come.
End Note: Feel free to mess around with. If you go under help there is a list of cammands that you can put into your program. Just have fun with, and do not make it seem like work. There are some thangs to note about Qbaisc: You cannot run the programs on a computer that does not have Qbasic. You could include Qbasic with it and show people your programms. Qbasic inst that big of a file (189k) so you could just put the program and Qbasic on a floppy and show people. This is your first step into programming, make it fun!
