PowerBasic for Console Course - Getting started with the Console Compiler

In this series of videos, which are aimed at those who have never coded in PowerBasic before, I cover one element of the language or programming - today we're looking at using some of the console commands to allow us to display share type information on the console.

00:00 - Introduction
00:58 - Colour enumerations
03:02 - Prep of data structures
05:26 - Preparing the console
06:43 - Preparing the Data
11:06 - Processing and display
23:28 - Summary

I don't work for, nor am I paid or sponsored by, the owners of PowerBasic or any company mentioned in these videos , I'm just a fan of their products.
