Bill,

I've used PICBasicPro and find it to be a very good tool.  I'm not
certain, but the licensing may prohibit the transfer of the software to
another individual.  Software licensing is  a minefield of uncertainty.

Ther is a PICBasic list...check this URL to
subscribe....http://microengineeringlabs.com/resources/pblist.htm

I recommend continuing to learn assembler using  the MPLAB IDE available
at...http://www.microchip.com/1010/pline/tools/index.htm  and of course
it's free.  One of the biggest problems I see with beginners on the PIC
BASIC list is their failure to understand the hardware.  As I'm sure
you're well aware you simply can't program in assembler without taking
the time to understand the hardware.

Best of luck, I hope this info helps.

One final comment......resist the temptation to buy the PICBASIC
compiler until you can afford the Pro version.
