Indeed, you may be wrong, Michael. You have the sound of a reformed
pirate yourself. Even so, you shouldn't leap to attack Ameer so
violently unless you have definite knowledge that he is using a
pirated copy.

Next time, consider directing an inquirer to the fine manual. In the
event that the person does not have a fine manual, the assistance
will be of little help. Perhaps s/he will then come forward and say,
"But I don't _have_ a fine manual!", in which case you will have a
more suitable opportunity for your attack.

Ameer, you are not the only person who has ever asked that question
legitimately. Refer to the User's Guide. If you are using version
5.X, see Chapter 2, "Beginning Turbo Pascal," "Where's the Code?" In
version 6, see Chapter 1, "Learning the new IDE," "Checking the
files you've created".
