Assuming you have version 2.x of the compilers and shell:

Check that the Pascal compiler is installed in the Languages folder
(prefix 16).

Also check that the line for the pascal compiler appears in the
SYSCMND file in the Shell folder.  There should be a line of the form:

PASCAL      *L        5

(restartable language called Pascal, language number 5.)

If you are using version 1.x of the compilers and shell, the languages
prefix is number 5, and the SYSCMND file is in the "System" folder
(under the directory with ORCA.SYS16, not the System folder on the
boot disk).

If you have to add the pascal line to SYSCMND, exit to the text shell
if you're in Prizm, then enter the following command to register the change:

commands 4/syscmnd

(or you can just quit from the shell and start it again).
