Hi Graeme,

I started using Free Vision for this project a few months ago:
http://turbocontrol.com/gnuroot.htm

There are Free Pascal mini-distribution zips on this page that have the 
textmode IDE source and also the Free Vision testapp example:

I hope those help to make starting with Free Vision easier!

Paul
