fundisk?
I know a few more dos commands than some...there's md, rd, cd progra~1...
 nice to know that I'm not the only one that can use dos though. That'd be scary...

cd progra~1 is just the cd (change directory command) with a directory... filenames longer than 8 characters in dos are represented with the first six letters follwed by ~ then a #, starting with 1 then going up for other files that have the same first 6 letters and extension. The full 9-256 length is then looked up in the fat tables (file allocation table tables.. thats redundant, isn't it  ). I dunno, i grew up in dos, i remember when i got windows 95, it felt so weird. |

| um.. erm.. del doesnt delete directories, only files, what you are looking for is "deltree" or "format" or "fdisk" (commonly known where i am from as fun disk) |

Look at the path where the del command was executed.
I'm guessing you have never did this before. |

QBasic stands for Q Basic. It's written by microsoft. And one of the older Basic compilers. VBasic is a more recent development programming language for Basic, and much easier to use to create windows applications. Plus, only later versions of QBasic actually allowed you to compile your programs. The earlier ones all interpreted the code.
QBasic huh? Think of writing a program in a text file, and a *.bas extension to it. and only that. VBasic is different. I think it has graphical object (buttons, cursors, lists...) files along with *.bas files.
The basic commands in QB are the same in VB...like input, print, sub, call...
But creating windows toolbars, command buttons, and all those other graphical objects...VB makes this much much easier.
There are other differences which you may notice, but I wouldn't worry about it. QB came with Windows 95...it might've carried over to windows 98, but it's not the programming language of choice these days. Too old.
And if you wanna look at QBasic files for neat tricks, you can just use a text editor.
Confused ne?

Some OSs dont need the files in the c root directory. I remember a long time ago when I was first on the internet and my daddy had put cyberpatrol on my computer, I was trying to hack/get rid of it, and when it detected my attempts it deleted everything in my C root, but nothing else, and its a pain to recover deleted files Had to go search for the old undelete dos executable cause i didnt have norton at the time. |

ahhh i see. i have written simple apps in that for fun, but i used it on a friends computer and didnt take notice of what is was called...
its the one in which syntax for helloworld app would look somthing like this?
10 rem HelloWorld.BAS
20 print"hello, world!"
30 goto 30
yah i am farmiliar w/ that is like the same as AtariBasic
and also, VB apps can be written entirely in notepad if you want(i dont know why you would), but you still need a compiler if you wana convert it to an executable

actually...a "hello world" program in QBasic would be:
Print "Hello World!"
But I think I was using v. 3...don't remember. It's been a while.
That's scary though, you willingly put a security program on your computer and it deletes everything if it detects tampering...

What're the rules anyway?
I mean, How do you know how many letters?
How do you create the next sentence?
Is it supposed to make sense?
Is it fun?
What if I don't want to?
What is the direction of the story?
What if there's a baka that keeps asking questions?
