Just finished learning some BASIC programming using GW-BASIC on IBM clones
here at the "U". Am on the way to becoming something other than just a
user-abuser. (What, of course, is unknown!) Have played with AmigaBASIC
enough to loathe it. What now?

Using TurboBASIC on the clones was so nifty that I yearn to use a "better
BASIC" on Ami!

Can anyone recommend, from personal experience, either GFA BASIC or HiSoft
BASIC? Any reason to prefer one to the other?

Some years ago a mentor advised that, in order to become a good photographer,
you should choose one type of film, paper, and film and paper developers and
use them until you "knew" intuitively how to manifest your vision. That one
type of BASIC is what I'm looking for now.

Will gladly summarise to the net if appropriate. Many thanks for the help!

Cheers!   Bryan
