A good source for the internals of Apple Pascal is "All about Pascal" 
published by CALL APPLE.  It describes Pascal version 1.1, not 1.2.
Another source I have heard about is "P-source" by Randall Hyde 
published by 
  Datamost
  8943 Fullbright Ave.
  Chatsworth, CA 91311

I have never seen P-source but an engineer at Apple once refered me to it
when he couldn't answer my question.

I've kind of given up on Apple Pascal.  It is too slow and doesn't talk
with the rest of the Apple world (i.e. PRODOS).  For people who want to
program in Pascal on the Apple (and do not need graphics) I recommend a
6mz Z-80 card and Turbo Pascal.  The editor that comes with Turbo is so
much better than the @#$% UCSD editor!  Turbo seems to takes as much time
to compile and start a program as Apple Pascal takes to start an already
compiled program.

I'm still waiting for a Pascal compiler that produces 6502 code and runs
under PRODOS.  Maybe the new 65C02 chip will inspire some developers.--
