Using PASCAL under HORIZON

[richmond]

So I popped the 2 ROM images for Pascal in the right place for the HORIZON emulatr - enabled paged ROMs and booted up: '*HELP' shows PASCAL as having loaded.

The started typing 'PROGRAM "TEST", hit enter and got an error message.

How do I start programming in PASCAL?

I've tried it with a disk in the drive but keep getting the message "Not found"

Well, you can't simply type in lines of code at the prompt the way you could/can in BBC BASIC. It's been about 20 years since I used to use ISO Pascal for the Beeb, but I'm sure there was a separate text editor of some sort. So you prepare a text file using the editor, then compile it.

Just found the ISO Pascal ref manual in PDF form, here:

From the manual, you type EDIT {source file}, then code away.

I'm assuming you're using Acornsoft ISO Pascal?
