Tks. Looks like a nice BASIC but appears closed-source from Microsoft. They trash a lot if their side projects over time. So, I'd recommend it only for temporary stuff in learning. Maybe OSS imitate any good qualities it has, too.

There's also smallBASIC [1], which is unrelated apart from having similar goals, and is both GPL and portable.

Thanks for the tip. That it includes string and math functions might make it even more appropriate for students.
