I would reccomend LightSpeed Pascal. It is the system I switched to from turbo
to learn Pascal and the Mac. It has a great debugger.And I am pretty sure that
you might be able to get a site-licence. Stanford's cs 106 class intro to
programming in pascal has switched from Mainframes to Mac's running LSP.
They also have a preety good general tutorial called Just Enough Pascal. It
covers the basics of pascal programming and some of the basics of the Mac.
It doesn't get in to handles and pointers, but does discuss array's,
functions, procedures, var, units, (general stuff). This is my opinion,
I don't work for them but I use there product and am a satisfied customer.
It even includes Object Pascal support but no MaccApp-like stuff for it yet.

So take a look, It might be worth your while.
