I want to find some software like the old MS-DOS Turbo Pascal editor/complier I had that can run under Windows and I can use it to demonstrate some basic programming to my kids - defining variables, arrays, and developing algorithms for sorting or whatever. I've seen Visual Basic for a few hundred dollars, but wondered if any of you know of some public domain or shareware or cheaper alternative - I'm not trying to write a software suite - just trying to show my kids what people mean when they talk about "writing a program."
I heard there is a simple way to get into a programming mode using "macros" but I've never used them and have no idea where to find out more information.
Kind of ironic that I'm clueless about computers now - when I was in college I wrote and distributed a Shareware program and even knew how to create assembly code for the parts where speed was crucial. I couldn't begin to do that now...

I just remember that in addition to enabling to do something with my computer that was not possible with the then-available software, learning to program helped me think differently in terms of organizing thoughts, developing procedures from the ground up, and so forth.

Doc,
There's also a radio program on that is live on Saturdays by a lady named Kim Komando. If you go to her website at komando.com she has all kinds of free software listed. You might want to give here a call on the radio as well.
