David,
there are penty of great tools out there that you can use. While BASIC is a great language, there are plenty of others that are just as easy to use - my favorite is Ruby (check out rubyonrails.com). With Windows you can also easily use VBScript with Windows scripting host. There is also Javascript which is very accessable and can be used with any web browser. You can also use VB.NET Express which, while yes it uses VB.NET which is more complex than BASIC, is still pretty easy to get started. Just because it is not the same as your experience, does not mean that it's not just as good of a learning tool.
By the way, I am a fan of your books.
