BASIC Programmers Can Develop Professional Quality Visual Basic
Applications for DOS

BLUE RIDGE SUMMIT, PA -- Visual Basic for DOS gives the more than one
million BASIC users all the hands-on guidance they need to develop
professional-quality DOS applications quickly and easily. Dozens of sample
programs, hundreds of clear screen images, and helpful icons highlighting
special tips and warnings take readers through each step involved in
writing a Visual Basic application.

Beginning with the basic concepts behind object-oriented programming,
Nammir Shammas goes on to explain Visual Basic's built-in help system, the
text box object, and Visual Basic menus and multiple forms and dialog
boxes. Readers also learn how to write interactive Visual Basic
applications, effectively manipulate mouse controls, handle errors in
programs, work with file system controls, and offer context sensitive
on-line help in their own applications.

In addition to the author's unique and proven system for effectively
documenting Visual Basic applications, Visual Basic for DOS comes with a
disk containing all the program code covered in the book.
