MrI would beg to differ with Mr. Brian Fox. I think David A. Lyons 
explanation of source code vrs object code was well done, considering
the complexety of the issue and the space he had to explain it. Perhaps
you could offer a better explanation?
	As for no serious desktop programs being written in Applesoft
basic, this is true for one simple reason. You cannot accesss the tool-
box from applesoft basic without special software. Often, it is simpler
to go to another language, than to write your own toolbox interface
for Applesoft. People have done it, however, check out So-
What-Software.
