Ok, that makes things clear.

Basic is not a very nice language. Take a look at Python instead
(www.python.org). They have built large amounts of Google with it, so
that should prove that it has it's potentials ;-)
If you want to do GUI as well, take a look at QT. It has a nice GUI
designer, and you can easily use QT in combination with Python. It's a
combination I'm currently using for multiple projects (a Jabber
client, a puzzle game and a programming envirionment), and it really
rocks.
Really, get rid of Basic and take a look at the other languages that
are out there. Perhaps you'll go back to Basic again, but getting rid
of it let's you judge the other languages in a better way.
