Well, while we're on the topic, I have a few complaints...
(I own THINK Pascal 2.0, so these may have already been fixed!)

1) I hate the fact that the observe window does not automatically update
   when a new entry is added.  You have to do a step (or do a writeln in
   the instant window) to see the value of the new item.

2) What's this B.S. with the dialog box that says "Can't find file...
   Would you like to look for it?"?  This box pops up whenever you move
   your project and source files to a different path.  That's crazy!
   If I do as simple a thing as change my hard drive name (or the name
   of my development folder) nothing compiles.  The source location's
   path information should be tied to the _project_ so that if you
   move the project and the source files together nothing get's screwed
   up.

Now that I sound like a complete a..hole, let me say that I really think
that THINK Pascal is the best investment any Mac user can make.
Tied with THINK Pascal is THINK C which I don't own, but I've seen 
in action (great debugger!).  Good job.

Just a bit of friendly constructive criticism brought to you by:
