Thanks for your refresh of my memory :-)

I never used DOS graphics myself, because I moved from my Atari ST to an 
PC only when Windows 3.0 was available. Before that time I wrote some 
programs for VT55 and VT100, on DEC machines, and GW-Basic applications 
at work. Those were the days...

Then it would be easier to use FPC instead of Delphi. The FPC IDE still 
is a console application, that uses all that stuff itself. ****ting these 
units certainly exceeds the capabilities of an Pascal beginner.

Otherwise I'd suggest that the OP gets a newer book, about writing 
Delphi applications, instead of learning Pascal from a 20 years old book.
