I know this doesn't address your problem, but as a person who USED to program in Turbo Pascal on a Mac II, may I suggest that you do as I did and switch to THINK Pascal (formerly known as LightSpeed Pascal) v2.01. I ran into some wierd problems with Turbo that I was unable to track down, and when I switched over to THINK, the debugger instantly helped me solve the problems. The whole programming environment (with projects and all) is much more powerful and easier to use than Turbo. Also, Borland doesn't seem to be too interested in Turbo Pascal Mac, since they only came out with 1.0, and then incrementally upgraded it for the SE and II (they did as little as they had to just to make it work). Unless they come out with a much more improved version, I just don't think it's worth dealing with. I BOUGHT Turbo Pascal, and I BOUGHT the upgrade that should've been free, and I even BOUGHT a book called "Programming with Macintosh Turbo Pascal". But, I recently bought THINK Pascal, and I'm much more pleased with this as a programming environment. Incidentally, if anyone out there (even after reading this) is interested in buying the LATEST version of Turbo Pascal Mac, along with the aforementioned book, I'll entertain offers starting at $25.00.
