Real Basic promises to be Visual Basic for Windows/Linux/Mac, but it has a 150$ price tag attached to it...

If it really should be some kind of basic, check out XBasic http://xbasic.sourceforge.net/
It's code compatible between Linux and Win32, comes with a GUI builder (in fact, it's part of the IDE) and it's free,too.
Sadly, documentation is rather scarce, or obsolet, so it's not so easy to get into as is Tcl/Tk.
.tcl code file attached - see previous posting

Re: MOD.MAKING.PROGRAM
Some more about Tcl/Tk
[internet]
www.tcl.tk
www.self-tcl.de
Tcl-Coach (German only)[Editor,Wrapper, training course]
http://www.medienzentrum-ansbach.de/inf/download.htm
.. scroll down to the bottom. It's pretty self-explaining (help) 
Tcl-Tutor (english) [training course]
http://www.msen.com/~clif/TclTutor.html
[Book] "Welch, Practical Programming in Tcl/Tk, 4th Ed."
it's a bit pricey, though.

Re: MOD.MAKING.PROGRAM
I've been writing a mod maker in C# .NET. Mostly it's been a learning exercise -- how to play w/ .NET, how to manage tabs, how communicate b/w different "controls." I hope to post the basic Version some time soon.
A lot of my time has gone into understanding the .NET GUI. If you write a simple text based MAD-LIB modder, it would take less time, be within modest JAVA capabilities, and be fairly portable.

Re: MOD.MAKING.PROGRAM
Another thing that would sure be nifty is if the good developers would teach us how to access all the data from the game itself. Not only would this save an enormous amount of work, but when things changed in future patches the modding software would automatically change with it.
