I would recommend THINK Pascal. I've been using it for 2 years and I highly recommend it. Also the books _Oh! Pascal!_ and it's companion _Oh! THINK'S Lightspeed Pascal!_ are useful. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Tim Farrington ' When a pyrotechnician says "Whoops", * * tfarring@eniac.seas.upenn.edu ' duck! * ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, I just learned Pascal this fall using THINK Pascal; I like it very much, it has very good tracing and stepping tools, which are invaluable to students learning how programs work. Also, its "prettyprinting" automatic formatting makes students' code easier to read, whch I'm sure you'll appreciate as a teacher. Good luck! -Dan Becker PS--you might also want to look at THINK's "Just Enough Pascal" which is a tutorial to go with PASCAL specifically for Macintosh, I htink (I haven't used it, bthis is all hersay) I've heard it's a good introduction and can get some rather interesting programs running and taking advantadge of features not covered in typical intro Pascal courses.
