PC Week has had a preliminary review.

Basically, you have 3 ways to generate WinApps:

(1) Use the Windows API, all of which is there.
(2) Use Turbo's own object-oriented programming system, which is an
 outgrowth of the object-oriented user interfaces in Turbo Pascal 6.0.
 This is, for most purposes, much more concise and equally powerful.
(3) You can even use writeln, readln, etc., to do a textual interaction
 in a window. (I.e., use a window like the screen of an ordinary computer.)
 This is very concise but not very Windows-ish. You can combine this with
 Windows API calls, or just take a straight Pascal program and run it.
