It's not just him; it's difficult for me to show him a block of code to 
explain, for him to ask questions, etc etc. Even trying to list a 
particular set of lines is a PITA. Would be nice to show him on a big 
screen in an editor...

Hah, I don't worry about him developing any coding habits - bad or 
otherwise - just yet. He's still at a very basic (pun not intended) 
level of understanding. Besides, I learned BASIC and I think my coding 
is GOTO 20

Then I'd have to learn Forth too... ;)

20 pretty good these days? ;)

All my calculators are RPN, even the ones on my phone & various PCs... 
he doesn't have one for school yet, but I'm tempted to get him one when 
they allow them... pretty sure the teacher won't be able to use it!
