Does anybody of you know a good programming language for DOS, which has mouse support and can handle high resolutions? I tried QBasic, but it didn't really satisfy my needs.
I want to try to create a little GUI with it, so it also would be nice if there already are some statements to draw lines on the screen and if possible functions to move/reposition these lines so I might be able to create windows with it.

| Turbo Pascal might meet your needs. There is a current commercial version (7.0). The Borland museum hosts a free download of a previous version (5.5) at http://dn.codegear.com/article/20803. |

Skit,
There are a bunch of them out there. Here are a few Turbo C/C++, DJPP, Euphoria, Python for Dos, PowerBasic, and of course you can use Java in DOS as well.

Yeah I am an old time Euphoria user. However I would not advise new programmers to dive into EU since it uses it's own data typing system that does not match the normal data typing system that is found in traditional programming languages. Also I must confess that EU is a pretty powerful language and there is not much you cannot do when using it. I just find it somewhat cumbersom in spots but no more than C, pascal, or perl.
Just my 2 cents
