I think that before creating more new pages for beginners that I should <br>
do what I mentioned a few days ago. I'm still a beginner myself! :)<br>
<br>
From the new wiki page: <a href="http://wiki.freepascal.org/ideU" id="LPlnk400537" previewremoved="true">

<br>
To see ideU in operation (in translating fpc applications into Java <br>
applications) watch this 6 MB video: <br>

I'll try to figure out how to do things first on my 64-bit Xubuntu 16.04 <br>
for a console program. After that is clear it should be easier to try <br>
the same thing on Android?<br>

<div class="PlainText" style="font-size: 10pt;">It should be possible because, in fact, fpGUI applications is also a console program. </div>

<div class="PlainText" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">For a console program a terminal emulator is needed, like Jon</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> Foster explained in that topic : </span><br>

<div class="PlainText" style="font-size: 10pt;">Now the challenge is to create a Java class and find the code that will:</div>
