[NF] Simple Basic

The latest excellent (if daunting) offering by Verity Stob on The Register linked to i-programmer.com (well worth a look if, like me, you haven't come across it before). That in turn led me to look at ms Simple Basic - a learners' programming language. I was musing on whether ms might be persuaded to come up with 'Visual Foxcub' - but was a bit put off when I noticed on the forum that ms implementation was less than thorough: <quote> Thiago#

This following ... code in Introducing Small Basic:

For i = 10 To 1 Step -1 TextWindow.WriteLine(i) EndFor

is not working! thanks!

Thanks for reporting that Thiago. That's a bug in the compiler which we'll fix for the next release. </quote>
