Basically, these are the grandparents to Visual Basic and much of the syntactical aspect is the same though the native objects have changed quite a bit from those days (about 15 years ago).
As for the recommendation to do a command line script first, let me recommend a GUI instead - unless you choose to be a primarily low-level programmer GUIs will be very important in your life so starting with them will help a lot. As my second program (after "hello world") I usually write a One-Time Pad program as I love encryption and that, if done well, requires the ability to encrypted an RTF formatted file or even more, though I've never progressed beyond RTF files and would love to see one done for HTML files. I've gotten away from such programming since having to feed myself from my coding, but it'd still be a great project to consider.
Sorry, but don't count me in on C++ - I've hated it from my earliest days all the way through classes on object oriented programming because it's rare that I ever needed the power of managing memory while I often need memory managed for me. If you're looking at VB or C#, I'm happy to take part -- also, you know VB implicitly from your knowledge of QBASIC and C# is, in my opinion, a cross between C++ and VB.
