Got it. So, I did:

$ edit leaves.pas
Input file does not exist
[EOB]
*i
             program leaves(output);
             var
                 a,b,sum,r,count : integer;

             begin
             a := 0;b := 0;sum := 1;count:= 21;

                 repeat
                     sum := sum + a;
                     a := b;
                     b := sum;
                     count := count - 1;
                 until count = 0;
                 write('sum = ':30,sum:10)
             end.
             ^Z
[EOB]
*ex
DB0:[USER]LEAVES.PAS;1 15 lines

$ pascal leaves.pas

Then, to link, it appears that I have choices, all of which appear to work:

$ link leaves,DB0:[11,36]PASEIS/LIBRARY
$ link leaves,DB0:[11,36]PASFPP/LIBRARY
$ link leaves,LB:[1,1]PASOTS/LIBRARY

$ run LEAVES
                         sum =      10946

I'm guessing that PASEIS uses PDP11 EIS opcode extensions (sometimes?) 
and PASFPP uses PDP11 FPP opcode extensions (sometimes?). I have no idea 
about PASOTS. But I'm glad my little pascal files are compiling/running!
