PRINT "Enter A: "
INPUT A
PRINT "Enter B: "
INPUT B
PRINT "Enter C: "
INPUT C
LET D=A+B+C (I'm not sure if you still include the LET in modern BASIC)
PRINT "ODDs = "
PRINT (D-A)/A (and so on).

Put them in for loops.

Or while loops if you don't know your upper value.

At a guess it's Windows ME
try QBASIC at the command prompt.
You can also find it on DOS disks - but licencing probably means you can't use it unless the computer it was on was disposed of.

or http://www.thefreecountry.com/ - to find free basic compilers etc.
