Another question, if I can trouble the experts here.
I am coming to Lazarus from a long time (twenty plus years ago) with Turbo Pascal. Using Mac OS X 10.6.5, Lazarus Version 0.9.29, FPC version 2.4.2, i386-darwin-carbon, default widgets (carbon).
I have now written and successfully run a couple of dinky programs in console mode. What happens is that up pops a typical unix console window ("Terminal" in OS X) , with the output, waiting for a readln. This is fine, but I miss the old Turbo Pascal behavior, namely, running a program within the IDE brings up a console window within the IDE itself, a runtime environment that doesn't shell out to the OS. In the Lazarus Wiki there is a suggestion that this can be done, by going to Run->Run Parameters... and check the box "Use launching application". Well, I have done all that, but there is absolutely no perceptible difference in running the program whether or not that box is checked.
Should there be a difference? Thanks in advance.
