I don't know how basic you need the information to be presented, because it's going to be difficult anyway to learn the PICK environment. Some of the interesting aspects of the PICK system are how it looks at dates as a number of days since it's inception and how it converts that number into an actual date. example...
Today's Date is 12133. That's 12133 days since PICK has been 'born'. It then converts that into 03-20-2001 when you need to (By the way this is the way PICK was able to overcome all Y2K problems). Also, PICK has a function called Dictionary Item wich is a brand new concept for other, powerful ways of converting data.
If I'm telling you something you already know, I apologize, but I'd like more background if you could.
Basically what I'm saying is if you learn this unique version of BASIC, it's going to be impossible to use it until you understand the environment and that won't be simple.
I know that goes for all programming languages and OS's but my point is PICK is truly a unique environment. I haven't seen anything else like it.
