   They haven't used that environment for a few years.  If you've seen the
editor for Turbo Pascal 4.0 or higher (which I assume you haven't), it's
much closer to that one.  See if any of your friends have a more recent
version of Turbo Pascal so that you can get a better feel for the editor.

   As for smoothly interfacing whatever other editor you want ... I use
my usual word processor and have a batch file that invokes the editor,
then the compiler, then (if there were no errors) the linker (if I
want it to).  It's not quite as pretty as having the whole thing inte-
grated, but I don't find it to be inconvenient.
