Flushed with success of actually getting a disk mounted, I am now ready to 
write code.  My system actually was different from any of the examples 
given, even the Mandrake example.  My system does not support user, only 
auto.

As a 25+ year BASIC programmer, what would be a reasonable language for me 
to use write code for the kind of things I will want to do for tass?  I 
suppose none of you will suggest BASIC, so I am ready to go for something 
that I can adapt to easily.  Fortran and Pascal come to mind.  I would like 
something that is well debugged and where I can get good documentation.  I 
gather that there are plenty of free programs.  I am willing to spring for 
a few good reference books.  I really have a tough time looking at 
C++.  All those curly brackets make my eyes strain, but perhaps I should 
just hunker down and learn it.  However, I tried it several times before 
and did not make much progress.  Possibly I can do everything I might want 
to do in Pearl or TCL??
