Alrighty.  Time to plug.  True BASIC, from True BASIC, Inc, is a right
nice BASIC which follows the proposed ANSI standard and runs on the
IBM PC, the Mac, some WANG box, and will be out soon on the Amiga, I 
hear.  It has many of the nice features mentioned, like subroutines,
graphics, program structures [if-then-else/do-while...], real variable
names and transportablity across many machines.  It is also fast to
run and compiles quite compactly.  It's a good product, and they don't
pay me any money to say so.  Check it out...

I hear they'll be at the Mac convention in SF, and cripple versions 
will be available for the Mac.
