Yes Ion that is what it means, but that is no gaurantee that its simple.
I think the point made is that learning a language is never EASY. Usually you spend many hours pooring over documentation and sorce code examples. This before you can really put a langauge to use. This seems to apply to BASIC as it does any langauge. The question then becomes, what language did you enjoy learning the most, because, that will be the one you are most likely to say was the easiest, regardless of how time consuming and confusing it might have been.
Noel, there is a language called FORTH that is very powerful and yet so unlike just about everything else out there, that even the most advance programmer could have real problems getting used to it. You know, reverse polish notation, limited number of lines per page and width per page. Still when it comes to math, its not a bad language. I used this langauge alot on my TI99/4A till I got the assembler. It was also included on many SUN Sparc stations in the monitor bios.
And to GFK, yea, my english( spelling ) is the worst, but what I lack in spelling I more than make up for in sheer volume of letters. :)
