Hi.  I'm teaching a course on microcomputer graphics using Macs and
QuickBASIC.  Can someone recommend a good book on Macintosh QuickBASIC
which gets into the Mac-only user-interface support available (MOUSE,
MENU, WINDOW statements)?

I just received Julia Bradley's "QuickBASIC using modular structure,
Macintosh version", and found it very unsatisfactory.  Despite the
title, it omits discussing subprograms (except in an appendix) and
mentions nothing about the Mac-specific features of QuickBASIC.

My students and I thank you.
