Freepascal and Python come with very poor development environment. In term of very high level development environment your best bet is Squeak/Smalltalk. Also note the Squeak BotsInc learning environment developed by Stephane Ducasse: http://smallwiki.unibe.ch/botsinc Some teacher found it useful to teach geometry http://community.ofset.org/wiki/Enseigner_la_g%C3%A9om%C3% A9trie_avec_BotsInc Best regards, Hilaire -- CDDP des Landes Ingénierie Éducative 614, rue du Ruisseau - BP 401 40012 Mont de Marsan Cedex Tél. 05.58.75.50.10 http://crdp.ac-bordeaux.fr/cddp40 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
