To be honest, I don't remember. It was so-called "Lightspeed Pascal", later renamed "Think Pascal", and especially after that experience I mostly used it for experimenting with Hypertalk XCMDs and XFNCs, which were much simpler as they weren't stand-alone GUI applications.
I did some pretty extensive work with Think Pascal on a 1MB Mac Plus with two floppy drives (no HD) and I always found it to be very efficient and a pleasure to work with.
