You probably want Just Enough Pascal - if no Mac interface progrmming is 
required, I think that this prduct is the most like the original (Apple) 
Mac Pascal - i.e. to get to draw circles and lines you dont have to program 
in windowing stuff, the package does it for you - like QuickBasic.

JEP is also from Symantec, and I beleive that they will allow you to 
upgrade to the complete THINK Pascal from JEP fairly cheaply.
