Like Rich said: both Knaster's books are excellent.

But you should _definitely_ also check out the "Mac Revealed" books by Stephen
Chernicoff.  They are very good for getting a re-phrase of IM (which can
sometimes help when you're not exactly sure of what IM's getting at) and they
give you some sample code.  Vol. 1 and 2 are the most helpful.

I recommend THINK Pascal if you're going to use Pascal (which, as one poster
noted, is probably the wisest route).  I just got version 3.0 (in 5 days! 
Symantec service is _much_ better than it used to be), and though I haven't
played with it much, it looks _real_ nice.  It's even got _3_ bound doc books. 
Classy.

Robert
