Me, too! Well, I just learned Pascal this fall using THINK Pascal; I like it
very much, it has very good tracing and stepping tools, which are invaluable to 
students learning how programs work. Also, its "prettyprinting" automatic
formatting makes students' code easier to read, whch I'm sure you'll appreciate
as a teacher.

Good luck!

PS--you might also want to look at THINK's "Just Enough Pascal" which is a
tutorial to go with PASCAL specifically for Macintosh, I htink (I haven't used
it, bthis is all hersay) I've heard it's a good introduction and can get some
rather interesting programs running and taking advantadge of features not
covered in typical intro Pascal courses.
