Maybe when you're done that, you could do "Python for RPG/400"

     H* RPG/400 VERSION OF THE BOTTLES PROGRAM *

     FSCREEN  O   F      80            WORKSTN
     C                     MOVE 100       X       30

     C                     END

     O                                   26 'BOTTLES OF BEER ON THE'
     O                                   31 'WALL,'
     O                         X         36
     O                                   53 'BOTTLES OF BEER'
     O        E
     O                                   22 'TAKE ONE DOWN AND PASS'
     O                                   32 'IT AROUND'

P.S. Can you believe it, at version 400 kicks at the can, they came up with this?
