I'm just beginning to program on the Mac with MPW Pascal. I have the
MPW manuals and the Pascal Manual. Why does it feel like there is
something missing ? How do I find out what is in the libraries and
how they work ? I've looked at the interface files, but they are
confusing and there are so many of them !! I haven't a clue where to begin
looking for what !! 

Example: I need to convert an integer to a string. It seems like a simple
and common task that I would expect to either be a standard routine or in
the libraries somewhere. Looking for every reference to strings in the the
Pascal manual yields nothing. Is it in the libraries ? I have no idea. Nor
do I know how to begin looking for the info.

Am I missing something ?
