I need help i want to create a program that the user enters a sentance and then they select a word from the sentance and then are able to replace that word with another word of there choice

This is an encyclopedia not a homework cheat site. Robert Lee 22:42 Nov 1, 2002 (UTC)

Yah, but thats where this site is going. I'd love to learn C++ and I wish a decent page would be made on it. Lir 23:08 Nov 1, 2002 (UTC)

I have moved the page to "Microsoft QuickBASIC compiler" from "Quick BASIC programming language". Microsoft spells QuickBASIC as one word, and it is not a programming langauge, it is an interpreter and compiler for a dialect of BASIC. I have done the same with the article Microsoft BASICA interpreter. cprompt

Macintosh

There was also a Microsoft QuickBasic for Macintosh. I'm not sure how compatible the two systems were. It's what I learned on in junior high. 199.176.87.2 14:07, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

According to the following web-page at http://members.aol.com/AlStaff/BASICList.html#quickbasic , there was a QuickBASIC for the Macintosh. It was called "Microsoft QuickBASIC" which implies it was developed by Microsoft but there is no evidence on that page to support the fact that it was the same QuickBASIC as QuickBASIC for the PC.

Right. As I said, I'm not sure how compatible the two systems were. 199.176.87.2 17:59, 11 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I used MS QuickBasic for Mac, version 1.00, when I was in middle school, so this was approx 1990. It was quite a bit different than DOS Quickbasic because of the different hardware (graphics and sound commands were very different, and iirc screen commands such as LOCATE and COLOR were changed as well), although of course the main language was the same. I was used to QuickBasic Extended (PDS 7.0), and wasn't too crazy about the mac version. --JeffryJohnston 20:32, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

old programmer

I'm an old Quick Basic, and VBDos programmer. It's been a while since I've used either but I'm going to dig into my memeory and see what details I can add. UrbanTerrorist 04:21, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tense

Should this article be in the present or past tense? QB is almost dead, but not quite. --Surturz 00:29, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
