So what is wrong with this code then...  When I quit the app, it says
I have one memory leak. What am I not freeing?

Try putting everyting in a procedure 'Test' and run that.

Global variables (even temporary ones) may not yet have been deallocated when the debugger output is written. By putting everything in a procedure, you force deallocation of all used variables, implicit or not.

---------------------------------------------
program memleak;

{$mode objfpc}{$H+}

uses
{$IFDEF UNIX}{$IFDEF UseCThreads}
cthreads,
{$ENDIF}{$ENDIF}
Classes, SysUtils;

type
TMyObject = class(TObject)
private
  FAge: integer;
  FName: string;
public
  property Name: string read FName write FName;
  property Age: integer read FAge write FAge;
end;

var
lObj: TMyObject;

begin
lObj := TMyObject.Create;
try
  lObj.Name := 'Graeme';
  lObj.Age := 123;
  Writeln('Hello ' + lObj.Name + ', you are ' + IntToStr(lObj.Age) +
' years old.');
finally
  lObj.Free;
end;
end.

Just add -gh to the compiler command-line.
Run your project from a console, so you can see standard output.
When the program is finished, it will give you a detailed list of memory leaks.
