- This file explains how to get started in Mystic Pascal and
- how to run the TUTOR program.
-
- 1. Make a backup copy of the entire Mystic Pascal distribution disk.
- Never use the distribution disk to run Pascal.
-
- 2. If you are using a non-standard video adapter, you must run the
- MYSTICIN installation program first. The distribution version of
- Mystic Pascal is setup to run on a standard IBM PC with either a
- color card or monochrome card or both. MYSTICIN may also be used
- to modify screen colors and video snow suppression.
-
- 3. To start Mystic, you need the files MYSTIC.EXE and MYSTIC.LIB.
- Type:
-
- MYSTIC
-
- 4. You are now in the Editor screen. Now load the TUTOR.PAS program.
- Type:
- F2 (Function Key 2)
- L
- TUTOR.PAS
-
- 5. Mystic Pascal has four screens that you can use. Type F1 to see
- the Screen Selection menu.
-
- F1 Editor
- F2 Direct Mode
- F3 System Display
- F4 Laser Display
-
- 6. Go to the System Display screen by typing F1 to bring up the menu
- and then F3 to select System Display. This screen is updated once
- per second. It shows a memory map and a table of the multi-tasking
- processes now running.
-
- 7. Now go back to the Editor to compile the TUTOR program. Type
- F1 then F1 to reach the Editor screen.
-
- 8. To compile a program, type F2 then C. If any errors are detected
- the error message will be displayed on the Editor screen and the
- cursor positioned at the point the error was first detected.
-
- 9. To run the TUTOR program, go to the Direct Mode screen (F1-F2).
- The backslash is the prompt character. To run a main program in
- Direct Mode, just type the name of the program (as declared after
- the PROGRAM reserved word).
- Type:
- TUTOR
-
- 10. You can work through the several lessons of TUTOR to become
- more familiar with Mystic Pascal and Direct Mode programming in
- particular.
-
- 11. To terminate Mystic Pascal and return to DOS, type:
-
- F1
- Ctrl-End
