Folks!

My young son is showing some interest in computer programming...what I want to 
walk him through is the real basics...thus the focus on BASIC!

There used to be VisualAge for BASIC product on our platform some time 
back...and judging by various posts it wasn't really much of a success. 
However...I am looking for something that basically has a decent GUI and very 
straight forward 'hello world' type program development capabilities.

I have VA for C/C++ installed here, Watcom, etc, etc...but do not want him 
starting with something like C or Java...we want very simple...

Any ideas, recommendations?

Remember, 9yo is your audience...
