Re: AW: [Hbasic-userinfo] Hbasic

At least, it might help one get a start in linux/qt/kde programming and
get an idea for it until they can get more skilled in C++. I would think
it would make a good skills migration tool, at least, to ween someone
over to the linux way to do things. Like BASIC was for those who never
programmed before to eventually learn to program. I started with BASIC,
and then went to learn other languages from there (on other plarforms).
