Ok...first of all, I don't know how I did it, but I made a small, real SMALL,
moderation to a ProLine program.  I don't have MD-BASIC, but I think ProLine
uses it?.  I probably was just using AppleSoft and it is hell to program. 
That's not what I was trying to say.  If you want to program efficiently,
then ok, why don't you put the price in for MD-BASIC.  You don't have to buy
ProLine WITH MD-BASIC...buy ProLine now and in about 4 months, or so, when
you have some more money, buy yourself a copy of MD-BASIC.  Let's go people,
but really, ProLine is a MUCH better program than GBBS.  If you don't want to
program ProLine, there are plenty of people on the network that do, and have
MD-BASIC, and did I ever say this...listen up...:

        YOU GET ALL THE PROLINE UPDATES OVER THE PHONE LINES, VIA MODEMS, FOR
ABSOLUTELY NO MONEY EXECPT WHAT THE PHONE CALL COSTS YOU!

        Morgan puts out an update for ProLine about once every three-four
months.  Right now, we're about due for one, and everyone's being very
patient and Morgan is really nice about it.  We don't bug the hell out of him
for it, he just surprises us with it one day and everyone has something to
talk about in the sysop only networked feeds for a while with questions and
answers about the new stuff the update has.  You ask a question of almost
anything and the next thing you know, you have an answer in your mailbox...no
you have 10 answers in your mailbox and you don't know who to thank.  That's
support...not some 30 site link up, but well over 90 ProLine only, then you
can count all the brigdes we have here, and you're talking about thousands
(am I going too far here) of sites!  ProLine is a far superior BBS program
than anything OUT THERE NOW.  I have yet to see GBBS surpass it.  If you buy
MD-BASIC and you have a //gs, then ProLine is the BEST BBS program.  If you
have a //e, and no MD-BASIC, programming is hell, and you may not want to do
it.  But, with the network and the help other sysops give, you can get things
from all over.

Somewhat clearer?
