Keep up firing, once you learn it and be happy with it as is.

In the past MS released 'Visual Basic Working Model' with magazines.
It was just the Basic part of Visual Studio with C and VB and 
a mass of useless overdone programs and other stuff for newbies.

This was as easy as gambas to use and learn.
With this working model even the help documentation was stripped off
and only the full help online at the MS website like gambas. ;=)

The only thing extra missing thing, you could not make a *.exe
You need to load the *.bas and press the 'Run' button.

With the program 'autoit' it was a peace of cake to load the
*.bas, hit the 'Run' button and hide the VB IDE window.
