I'm almost exclusively a UNIX person, but I have a son who is learning to program on a PC. The I/O there is simple in languages that support it. He's beginning to push the limits of GW-BASIC (no snickers), and I've been told Smalltalk might be a good next step for him. If anyone out in netland has used PC Smalltalk implementations, could he or she perhaps comment on which might be simple enough for a kid, but which would permit sophisticated enough graphics to keep his attention (it's the graphics that he likes best). Incidentally, I've already had one recommendation for Digitalk (or what- ever it is - I'm not a Smalltalk programmer). -Richard -- -Richard L.
