Kanata (Ontario). Canada. Lines: 21 Borland's (and anyone else's) manuals are reference materials. They allow one to relate one's knowledge of a language to a particular implementation of that language. I.e. they allow to you figure out how to accomplish a particular task in a particular implementation of a language. They are not a tool for teaching someone how to program in a language. From your query's tone, it sounds like you are merely attempting to expose these people to pascal. Why not do them a big favour and teach them something about how to program very well while using pascal as the tool? Get "Software Tools in Pascal" by Kernighan and Plauger.
