I used System.Assign and now I have my program working in Lazarus, I am exploring both options of making it a real windows application with Lazarus and a console program that can launch save-as.
The Lazarus version is mostly working in Lazarus, but instead of everything happening before the form is loaded, is there a way I could make the form first, then just start processing everything, so that my messages I send to memo1 show up as it's processing? I'm guessing I need to move my program from On-create to somewhere else so it runs after the memo box is showing... but I don't know where I would move it to. Any suggestions?

Because Assign is a method of the form. Use AssignFile or System.Assign. BTW: what I explained before is *not* how a gui application is usually written but it should work in your case.
