     If you know BASIC, or Logo, then, a good place to start GS
programming is Orca/Pascal. If you have done assembly language
programming, then, another choice is Orca/M or Merlin 16+.

     If you have not done any programming at all, then, begin by writing
some Applesoft BASIC programs. You can learn much by modifying games and
other BASIC programs.
