Please elaborate: Is it possible to use LO to write free-standing BASIC
software? (NOT Visual Basic!) If so, a little information as to how that
can be done would be appreciated. Every so often I would like to
code something simple to make my life easier, but the simple programs
like BASIC and Turbo Pascal (early versions) just don't seem to exist
anymore. I'm 75, and I just don't have the ambition to learn Python,
altho I think it might do the job.
