They have Waite Group books on MS-DOS and UNIX as well as on C. Pascal, Basic, Etc. These books are published by Howard W. Sams and Company. Go to your local computer store and take a look at these books. They start at the beginning and work there way up. Very readable. I have taught MS-DOS and BASIC for years. The most difficult part is trying to explain BASIC commands and MS-DOS commands. My students constantly got the two mixed up. I hope this helps. Good luck and take care. Sorry about my LONG end-message but I like it!! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= - _ | M. R.
