SYNTAXERROR : Some words from the editor

I am always amazed at what Carl has created here in Liberty Basic. It is much more than the "Little Basic that could".
We have seen in the last month several projects that people are working on that push the envelope of the language.

Yet it is an approachable language. A simple language that the beginner can easily work their way into without a great
deal of trepidation. This month the newsletter is offering several article that span broad scope of peoples skill
levels with the language. Of great interest to the new comer may be the article titled "Resources for the beginner".

I want to thank all the people who contributed to this newsletter: Alyce Watson, Mike Bradbury and Kevin Bruce.
I also wanted to thank Brent Thorn for WMLiberty DLL which is discussed in the API article as well as Dennis Mckinney’s example of WMLiberty which I also integrated into that article.

I also want to apologize for the lateness of the release of this newsletter. I hope the wait has been worth the trouble. Thanks – Brad Moore
