	The last time I taught our introductory programming course (Pascal),
I had one student who wrote BASIC programs in Pascal.  Goto's and labels,
one letter or letter-digit variable names, no loops except "for", "if"
statements with only a "then" clause which contained only one statement,
and so on.  It was awful.
