I suggest you look at the FPC/Lazarus Wiki
http://wiki.freepascal.org/
for ideas to get you started.
It may be easier to start programmng using either the FPC IDE which
comes with the FPC package, or the Lazarus IDE which can be used either
to produce Windowed GUI applications or simple Pascal console-mode programs.
The FPC manuals at
http://www.freepascal.org/docs.html
contain a lot of information to get you going
You will find the FreePascal/Lazarus community very supportive, eg in
this mailing list. I have very rarely seen the comment 'RTFM', though
people very often offer links to suitable places to get information.
Hope this helps

I am new to FPC, and can't get started. I have used Think Pascal, and
I seem to have quite a hurdle here. Someone else told me that I need
to start XCode first. I did that, then I chose a template (FPC Carbon
Application 2.2.0). Then I didn't know how to enter code, so I opened
start.pas, entered some code, tried to do "build and run," "compile,"
and none of these ran my simple code. what am I missing?
