     Pascal is more like BASIC and, so, easier to learn. Whatever your
choice, your main task will be learning GS Toolbox.

     An attractive alternative to C and Pascal is Assembler. You will get
to learn 'Toolbox and you have a much better idea of what's going on in
your programs. Once you've turned out a couple Assm applications and
gotten used to using the Toolbox, it will be much easier to tackle C and
Pascal.
