Try HiSoft BASIC Professional from Michtron.  It is much nicer than AmigaBASIC
yet it is almost entirely compatible with it.  It is also compatible with
QuickBASIC.  

HISoft is pretty fast, you can use any editor you like (though the supplied
one is not bad), and it compiles stand-alone programs.  I've not had time
to examine it thoroughly, but I do like what I have seen.
