I had never heard of any of those types of things, and it wasn't that
hard to learn- though I didn't realize the usefullness of having both
while _and_ repeat statements, since they're so similar. Also, I had to
look up the syntax for a couple of things later, since the first time I
read it I was just memorizing what everything did. Now that I'm starting
to teach myself Pascal, I really wish TI-BASIC had a case statement.
(For those of you who don't know what that is, a case statement is
written case [var] of [value]:command; [value]:command; [value]:command;
...end)
