I tried GW_BASIC 3.22 with Windows XP, and the printer
wasn`t supported. Is there a later version of BASIC for
Windows XP? I have been away from BASIC for 10 years,
and I can`t tell if any language that is available is
BASIC as I knew it.
Thanks, Old timer
 
Probably not.

There is a command prompt (allPrograms-accessories-
commandPrompt) but this is not dos either.

Old timer,

Basic is no part of Windows XP, but it still exists. It is now Visual Basic
and is sold separately. It now has a graphical user interface and differs a
lot from the old GW Basic. (Still missing it too....)

Best regards,

Ben
