I'm in the process of helping someone move from programmable calculators
to the world of Mac. This person is starting with the CCS2 programmable 
calculator program, but would like to move "on". C or Pascal is beyond
this person at this point, but I think that BASIC might be OK. What's
important is access to floating point (SANE extended) math and the abilty
to call lots of previously defined subroutines.

Would anyone who has any experience with Mac based BASIC packages please
respond. I'll summarize if I get enough information to summarize. Thanks.
