 I WILL BE purchasing a //gs at the end of the summer however, I have a
few questions.  I have been using an II+/IIE for about the past seven years.
I think they are wonderful machines however, my brother is taking my //e so
I am going to buy a //gs (hopefully a rom 04, if it is out).  here are my
questions.  I have spent about a total of 10 minutes on a gs in my entire
life.  So please pardon any miss use of terms.

1.  I know all my IBM friends can write a prog. in Turbo Pascal and then 
    xmodem the file to the UNIX computer.  So they don't have to use the
    terrible editor that is on here.  If I use a pascal or C compiler will
    I be able to do the same?

2.  Will I be able to launch the files form the desktop once the are compiled
    and linked?

thankyou.
