Instant Pascal was designed to be used with a MOUSE, not a joystick.  There
was a version that allowed IP to be placed on a hard drive, in the main volume
directory, but at least it was possible to put it on a HD. 
 
Instant Pascal is only good for learning Pascal.  It cannot be used for
program development, because it is an interpreter.  IP programs can only be
run in the IP environment.
