To the best of my knowledge, Turbo Pascal is a superset of 'standard'
Pascal.  If you want to know if something works in Turbo Pascal, try
it!  Even in TP's "crude" environment (compared to Borland's later
releases like Prolog), it's painless to write and compile a quickie
test program.

I would suggest looking in your local bookstore; there are several
books available now with titles along the lines of 'such-and-such for
Turbo Pascal'

I can't comment on Turbo Tutor, but if you already know Pascal, why
bother?
