OK. So I searched help (after building a new environment that worked 
properly) and figured out it's some kind of interactive pascal compiler 
that can also be run as a command line. So, I compiled a pascal file 
from the command line and lo and behold, it produced a nice looking 
object file. But, when I tried to link it as is, it appears to depend on 
an external library. This makes perfect sense, but raises a couple of 
questions that I'm hoping y'all might could answer:

1. What's the name/location of the file(s) containing the pascal 
delivered external functions (write, print, etc)?
2. If you recall a typical Pascal workflow with RSX-11M Plus, what was 
it (or was it simply, edit, compile, and link to the above referenced 
libraries)?

Thanks,

Will
