The Easy Language in Trade Station is such a language.  The TAS program had
a programming language that looked like a subset of Pascal. You are correct,
if a programming language has an interface with MS, we can use the whole
language not just a subset.

Why should we have to buy and learn to use MSK and powerbasic?
