are there any computer languages simialar to qbasic out there? and also is there any other languages that can be done by using ms-dos except for the batch programming.
You know these questions really belong in the programming section. Once you've learned qbasic, you really ought to learn C++, Java, Python, etc. Finally, why do you want to use MS-DOS?
with QBASIC, it comes with DOS. Downloading an IDE is not that bad (especially if you can dl at school and put on an external drive)

Why do you want to know how to program in MS-DOS?

no offense, but that is probably the stupidest request I've ever heard in my life. Next thing I know you'll be asking for FORTRAN or COBOL tutorials
Learn VB if you don't want to download anything, its been built into windows since win95
You know how lafferjm is. He wants everything easy and doesn't want to put a lot of effort into things.

thats not what i meant at all!
I was saying qbasic is worthless, MS-DOS sucks big time, and the only decent languages worth using all require a compiler and/or interperater (C/C++, Python, PHP, Perl, etc...)
I'm going to start learning it soon. 
cool.. have fun with that...
of course, theres always Java

anything with "basic" in the name is a decent starter, so long as it doesnt teach him any bad habits... (you know, i'll be doing some PHP, and i'll write this out
Code:
yeah, i caught myself doing that once, and wondering why i was getting some weird errors... ah well...

I searched my computer for visual basic and i got two files but i need some program to open them. the two files are
Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll
and
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Vsa.dll
those are the only files i found. what kind of program do i need to open them up with without messing anything up.

uh...its built in, you just save your VB code in a text file with a .vb extension (similar to how BAT files work)

so I just open up notepad and save it as .vb and then I have a visual basic program.
yes
then i guess i have the two languages that i want to learn for this week. once i learn python then visual basic then i will have learned three new ones in a week.

thats not learning a language, thats learning its syntax. the difference being that you won't have a full grasp of its capabilities and included functions
