| Bare with me as I am relearning this all over again. I got started in Pascal   
   | in 1985 in High School and then later college.   
   +-[NK=>All]   
       
   I took a semester of it in college about that long ago.  I am now a COBOL   
   programmer by profession, after taking a self-paced course sometime after   
   college.   
       
   | I hope I have explained the Free Pascal programming format, and that the   
   | reader is able to compile the program and run it to get the screen:   
   |   
   | Hello World   
   +-[NK=>All]   
       
   Yes, I was able to.  ;-)   
       
   | You will note that in this example I am using the Windows version of the Free   
   | Pascal 2.6.0 compiler, I used a command prompt, and I changed to the   
   directory   
   +-[NK=>All]   
       
   I am using the linux version from the debian stable repository.  I am also   
   using the fpc ide to edit the programs.   
       
   | If there is more interest I can post another lesson on Free Pascal.   
   +-[NK=>All]   
       
   I would not mind seeing some more lessons.  This echo had not seen much   
   traffic here until your posts.  Thanks!
