Do i have to write code in a simple text editor and compile it in DOS mode?? My OS is Windows ME.
No, you don't have to use "Notepad" as editor and compile from the command line.
You can use the integrated editor, compiler & debugger instead: If you've set your PATH variable as described in the installation instructions, you can simply start the IDE by typing "fp" in a DOS shell window (or clicking on an appropriate link on your desktop).
The IDE is a text mode program (but still a "real" Win32 program). It has an integrated compiler and some debugging features. Maybe you need to change some settings - have a look at the "options" menu.
Using this IDE should be very easy for you, if you're familiar with the Turbo Pascal IDE.
IIRC there is work done on a graphical IDE as well, but I haven't used it so far and don't know about its status of progress.
