I had to respond.  I have no problems with THINK Pascal on my IIsi.  Here's my
setup:

MacIIsi 5/45
Finder 6.17 (not MF)
System 6.07
THINK Pascal 3.1 (!!! Did you get the patch? !!!)
PseudoFPU        (!!! Have you tried this? !!!)
TMON
6 or 7 other INITs

I haven't has THINK crash on me yet (it's been my programming).

	^^^^^^^^^^
This is all you need.
See Apple's Mac IIsi compatability list for more
information

The compatibility list says version 3.01 for Think Pascal and
4.02 for Think C.  Should I interpret this to mean 3.1 and
4.2, respectively?

Sorry, I was the poster of that error.  It IS 3.01 not 3.1.  My mistake.  BTW,
I was told by mail that MacsBug 6.2 should be used on the si not 6.1.

   The compatibility list says version 3.01 for Think Pascal and
   4.02 for Think C.  Should I interpret this to mean 3.1 and
   4.2, respectively?

Actually, Apple's "Compatibility List" is inaccurate, at least with
regard to the THINK languages.  Version 4.0 of C and 3.0 of Pascal
both work fine on all Macintosh models.  The current patchlevel of C
is 4.0.2, and Pascal is 3.0.1.  These patchlevels are recommended,
since they fix bugs in the compilers or libraries, but they are by no
means necessary for the IIsi, or any other Macintosh.

I'm using THINK Pascal 3.0 on a Mac II running 6.0.7
and many INITs and haven't experienced what you're
experiencing.

It is possible that the program you are working on
is somehow messing things up such that even though
the program itself doesn't bomb, it does cause
problems for other programs (isn't Mac programming
fun?)

Other things to try are reinstalling your system
from the floppies and reinstalling THINK Pascal.

Good Luck!
