If you want something more akin to Think Pascal, you may want to try
LWP, which is available here:

Thanks, Jonas! I think that is what Edward needs. BTW, the latest
version is at
http://www.ragnemalm.se/lightweight
It is much harder to upload to SourceForge, so I can't always do that.

Then I must guess that you either have problems with the paths (strange
characters that mess up the command lines) or something is not installed
properly. What does the "about" box look like? It should tell what
compilers are installed.
Here's what I wrote:
Program HelloWorld;
begin
print "hello"
end.
and I'm told
No main program found. Can not build.
I took that code, created a new document in LWP, saved as "HW.pas",
fixed the "print" line
to WriteLn('hello');, hit cmd-R. It runs just fine.
What extension do I need on it?
.p, .pas, .P, .PAS, .dpr should all work in recent versions.
Let me ask:
- Is Free Pascal installed? For the target you use? (If you use an Intel
Mac, you need to change target to "Intel" unless the PPC compiler is
installed.)
- Is GCC installed? (Comes with Xcode, I don't know if you can download
it separately somewhere. AFAIK FPC needs GCC for linking.)
I am sure this can be solved pretty easily. In all my tests, LWP runs
nicely as long as FPC is installed. I will gladly fix any beginner traps
you find.
