[fpc-pascal]New to the list/question

[Alan Mead]

Well then let me rephrase the question:  What functionality are you
looking for?  

All your programs will, by default, be console applications that use
write/writeln and read/readln.  There is also a few flavors of the
CRT unit containing more advanced console-based primitives like
ReadKey() and Window().

=====
A Congressman was once asked about his attitude toward whiskey.  "If you mean the demon drink that poisons the mind, pollutes the body, desecrates family life, and inflames sinners, then I'm against it. "

"But if you mean the elixir of Christmas cheer, the shield against winter chill, the taxable potion that puts needed funds into public coffers to comfort little crippled children, then I'm for it."
 
"This is my position, and I will not compromise."
