For someone learning DBP; what would be the recommended plug ins and/or tools to make it easier to program with DBP?

I have not been active with DBP; actually have been using an application based Basic language to work on an applications for around home. Now I would like to get back in and learn the DBP language better. I have downloaded some of Yellows tutorials and will be seeking other tuts out. I am going to experiment with test programs, just to see how the commands work.

But what would make the basic learning curve easier.

I know that EZRotate (free) is a given; thanks Wolf.
I use the CodeSurge IDE. It is great; thanks hyrichter.
Any other recommendations.

Thanks
Don

I wouldn't buy any plugins until you've got back into DBP. They won't really help in any way, only distract you from the core language

A good IDE is my only recommendation

Fair enough, and good advice. Thanks BatVink.

May I ask where your user name came from?

Thanks, just curious and never got around to asking.

Seems like I saw them when they got a replay. Don't believe I would remember a cartoon from when I was about four.
