I don't know if this is off-topic for this forum or not, but you guys
are real smart so I'm asking you. I hope this makes sense to someone.
I'm looking for a word-processing type program that would generate all
of the variables (including repetition) of a four to twelve word
phrase containing various mnemonic syllables that I could create.
(e.g.: "dhati", "ghena", "thuna", "dhete", "tete", etc. – hindustani
tabla bols –like the phrases the Zakir Hussain recites before or while
he's playing .)
I'm looking for a interactive word phrase generator, not a sound
sample player.
Thanks in advance for any and suggestions.

Bill

10 input "Number of words: ", num
20 for i = 1 to num : print "word ",i,":"; : input a$(i) : next i : print
30 rem Generate four-word phrases
30 for i = 1 to num
40 for j = 1 to num
50 for k = 1 to num
60 for l = 1 to num
70 print a$(i), " ", a$(j), " ", a$(k), " ", a$(l)
80 next l
90 next k
100 next j
110 next i

Gee, thanks for the the answer Scott! ...ummm, I know I asked for it
and I got exactly what I 'asked' for, ... but I don't really know how
to program in dos. Is it hard to learn? Do you think there might be a
windows-friendly version of a similiar program?

Google up "anagram generator" and try some of those options. Here's
one on the web.

It's actually BASIC. All you do is start BASIC, enter what he type, and then
RUN.

Hmmm. On second thought, maybe I misunderstood the request.

That thing will run on anything with a BASIC interpreter... isn't there
some GWBASIC thing for Windows?

I don't think the latest versions of Windows come with BASIC any more.

15 dim A$(num)

if there are more than 10 words, you need this. If an array is
automatically dimensioned by its first reference, it defaults to 10
elements.
