    Well, if it is any consolation I did tell my roommate of the two languages
I currently dabble in, Perl and Python, if she wanted to start to learn to
program I recommended Python even though my Path, thus far has been Pascal, C
(and subsequent running away screaming like a madman), some DOS based
scripting languages (4DOS anyone?), REXX (see C comment), Perl, Python.  PHP
is next on the list somewhere once I can find a decent reference book.
