Microsoft BASIC Compiler Versions 5.35, 5.36, 6.00, and 6.00b for
MS-DOS does not support Index Sequential Files (ISAM). You must write
your own routine or use a third-party vendor's routine that is
compatible with the BASIC compiler.

Microsoft BASIC Professional Development System (PDS) Version 7.00 for
MS-DOS does support ISAM files. BASIC PDS 7.00 currently supports
single-user ISAM, however.
