There isn't much free software for *serious* development - except in C
or Pascal. There are several free Basic interpreters, but they are
not fast and don't have an IDE to work in (it's all code - which can
be harder to work with in an event-driven environment)

If you want easy, then you pay for it ;-)

NSBasic for the Palm ( http://www.nsbasic.com/palm ) is one of the
easier development tools, since Basic is a (mostly) straightforward
language. They have a very active support group on Yahoo and provide
regular updates and discounted version upgrades (I started with
version 1.something and it's now at 6.1.0)

There's even an after-market book (now in it's second edition), which
is definitely a good investment when starting out (even after using
NSB/Palm for two years, I learned new things from the book).
