I guess if you find it to complex to simply make the system libraries
visiable to the program you are right, computers today are to complex
for you.  

but i programmed single board computers, and pdl 8, pdp 11, pdp 15, ...
etc way back, and to say they were simpler than today is ABSURD!! The
hoops you jumped though compared to today were HUGE!  Heck, i had to
swrite my own floating point math package for the pdp 11 in assembly,
and my own graphics primitives on the pdp 15, and on the commodore 64. 


if you are so in love with basic, there are 2 or 3 different basic
compiler for the mac available i belive.  try one of those.
