That Visual Basic example I find too easy even for a beginner. My VB 6 teacher made us use a click command, so the code would be:Sub cmdGo_Click()msgbox "Hello, World!", "My First Code:", vbExclamationEnd SubOr for teachers that tried to cram things into students:Sub cmdGo_Click()Const A="Hello, World!"picOutput.AutoRedraw=FalsepicOutput.Font=Comic Sans MSpicOutput.print=AimgWorld.picture=C:Pathtopicture.jpgimgWorld.stretch=trueEnd Sub

Ah, that brings back some memories. The GNU C "Hello World" is the funniest version that I've seen.
