Forgot to give you the thumbs up too Daniel, for in that you too have contributed
to my further VB educational upbringing by providing links to the http://www.pbs.mcp.com/
site but note that this site has now become some kind of portal.
The digital book versions pages have all moved from that site over to the InformIT-website,
where the pages do too have the Titles, write ups, chapters, ISBN #'s, prices and other stuff
that needs listing as well. See the links below.
The time spend on learning VB will be well worth the effort, as besides for the fact that the
language will be around for another 10 years or so (in all forthcoming Windows 2k+ -versions),
it is already the standard in programming languages, eg for both the professional as well as for
the home users. Therefore being VB-compatible for a program today is the same as it was
-in the older PC-days- for a program to be be IBM-compatible and more of late, a program
nowadays has to be at least Windows-compatible. Should Equis decide to continue to charge
its users for MetaStock being VB-compatible (eg VB-compatible doesn't ship with the program
for free, therefore this "compatible" mark is not automatically included, and its users are forced
to buy a separate (library-) program, the MSFL-library), than I am confinced what the outcome
for MetaStock as program will be. Where Microsoft is innovative, aggressive and pleases its
program users (worldwide), eg by providing 'fully equiped' valuable and user definable programs
and with the additional supply of freebies as presents, Equis is and does not.
Only 2 giants in the 20th century(Ford & Gates) have shown to have (had) a superb feeling for
what the masses do want (Gates 80-90's) or did want (Ford 20-30'ts).
The PowerBASIC program costs a mere U$190 and worst, most likely it will be, by average user,
only be used once with the (MetaStock) program (if ever used at all !!), eg for his/hers
data crunching, as any other real -on a single PC- purpose is not realy to be found, eg
1. not only because of the fact that its scripts are for minimum 3x the size of ordinairy VB-scripts
2. also from the time consuming part that it takes to create one's scripts (eg "developing" is for
true professional scripts)
3. also only debugging one's own scripts can take up ages, let alone debugging these
multi-sized scripts.
So besides buying the MetaStock program and having to buy the MSFL for XXX U$'s as well,
user will now also have to buy the PowerBASIC program (U$ 190) as well and this total-ing to
a mere U$400-U$500, eg 2x the costs of the program itselve and including the initial program,
total-ing to a mere U$700, and this, while every PC around the globe is already equiped with
the right utilities for being VB-compatable (eg WSH+VBScript), that are included in their own
Operating Systems (Win98/IE5), and that get freely updated as well via Windows Update (IE).
So, the program-makers that do not take care off their users (privates, professionals, businesses)
or do not take their customers that seriously (in the true meaning of the word), will automatically
vanish from earth.
Many examples have pre-ceeded. Since Equis only considders the latter group to be its main
-for customer- target, then enough has been said on this. And the subject as well.
Period.

Also note that it is very "handy" to read the older VB (4+5) versions' books, as the basics
in VB haven't changed (and most will be displayed in full detail, eg all of the Chapters,
including all of the accompanying and very much desired pictures).
