Yeeouch, no need to shout. ;-)

AmigaBASIC would have been a great learning language if the example programs were commented and documented properly. There's a ton of interesting stuff dealing with ILBMs and things, but as soon as you get to the meat of the program there's no explanation at all as to what it's doing. Shame.

There was a BASIC compiler called Cursor freely available, which was compatible with AmigaBASIC. I used to write stuff for that before I inevitably got bored of its limitations.
