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.
