James,

Thank you for pointing me in this direction.  I did some Googling 
and found the Mavric-II just before your answer appeared.  It looks 
like it was built just for me!!

I think I will get one.

Is there a reasonably useful windows-based C compiler for little or 
no cost?  I am rusty with C but I much prefer it to basic!  

Are all the programmers the same, or do some give extra 
functionality and are worth the extra cost?  WHat is a reasonably 
good, low cost one?

As you can see, this has to be done on a real budget!!!!

-Tony
