Well, there is pascal-mode: Edit any file with the .pas extension and
there you are.

Hello,
is there a Mode for Emacs for editing Borland Turbo Pascal 6 available? Do 
you also know a good compiler with basic units? (CRT, would be important) 
(Using most recent Emacs version)
Thx,

Hello,

I've seen the included Mode, but it seems to be pretty basic, offering not 
much except syntax highlightning, or I'm wrong?
Thx,
Florian

I know. As I discribed.
But the built in mode offers only basic functions. What about invoking a 
compiler and so on?

See the "Compilation" node of the Emacs manual.

Invoking any command-line oriented compiler is M-x compile.

I have not heard of an all-encompassing Pascal mode.  Most Emacs users
are C/C++ programmers on UNIX and Java programmers, so the big modes
tend to be in those areas.

Probably true.  If somebody offered suggestions, however, I am sure
Emacs maintainers would like to incorporate them.  I guess Florian
Lindner just has to spell out what he is expecting, exactly.  Then,
point for point, we can add it, or explain how to achieve it "the
Emacs way".  And then we can put some explanations on the wiki or
something.  Ok, that was a cheap plug.  ;)

Think JDE or ECB for Pascal.  The problem with asking a user what they
want is that they know what they want ... *WHEN* they see it.

If done some experiments with so mode, and it seems better than at the first 
look.
Is there documentation for this mode only?

Compile mode?  It's in the Emacs Info documentation.

Pascal mode?  Not sure -- there's always comments in the lisp file.

Did you try C-h m in Pascal Mode?

That may be true sometimes, but in this case what I suggested was
found lacking, so I was expecting some explanation.

How can I tell M-x compile which compiler with with command line options to 
according to the major-mode to invoke?

In the mode hook, set the variable compile-command.

Also investigate file variables.  In Info: (emacs)File Variables.

C-h v compile-command has an example.

Describe variable: compile-command
No Match
This variable seems to not exist??

C-h v compile-command -> No Match, where do get Info to this variable?

`compile' isn't loaded yet. Try `M-x compile RET C-g', and then `C-h v
compile-command RET'.
