Yes, it sounds like you're talking about the interpreted BASICs of
yesteryear.  BTDT.  I loved BASIC, until I found C.  I've programmed
in a wide variety of languages.  There is only one as powerful as
C: PL/1.  Of course, C++ includes C...  So, it's best to just forget
about all those other languages, IMO.  Most are "dead" languages now.

About the only thing really convenient in BASIC are MID$, LEFT$, RIGHT$,
and string concatenation '+'.  It's done slightly differently in C, but
C is far more powerful and flexible.  The big problem with BASIC is
unstructured code.  You can jump into and out of loops, etc.
