Hello, colleagues!
Is there any complete reference of this language with basic steps to start? Thank you, guys.
-
You could take a look at http://www.delphibasics.co.uk which gives you a nice reference.

Thank you! I have started to program with turbo pascal and Delphi but they were amended.

Below is the link to download one of the most complete and updated books about Object-Pascal. Note that it was written with Delphi in mind, but most of its contents apply to FreePascal as well.

official documentation (contains small snippets/examples as well) : "**s://www.freepascal.org/docs.html"
wiki category books: https://wiki.freepascal.org/Category:Books" especially https://wiki.freepascal.org/Pascal_and_Lazarus_Books_and_Magazines"
ah, too late for the latter. Simone already added that as well :)

And where to find all other types info like TProcess which are supported by Object Pascal?

FreePascal has an almost unrivalled set of official manuals. And completely understandable for anyone coming from a different language (well, except Forth, I like Forth - And Haskell - but that is a different story).
Any object Pascal book or course will do.

Is Forth compiler still maintained?
-
Do you use the version 2.2.4 ?
F1 gives nice results, no not complete results, but quite usable for many questions.

Maybe he hasn’t downloaded Lazarus yet...

I always recommend to take a look for Lazarus (https://github.com/coderserdar/Documents/tree/main/Programming%20Languages/Lazarus) or Delphi (https://github.com/coderserdar/Documents/tree/main/Programming%20Languages/Delphi) at that repo.
Outside of that "folders" you find a crazy cool amount that covers mainly anything for everyone.
Just check it out and be impressed.

Which one? Not related to pascal, but there are commercial and open source Forth compilers that are still maintained. But this is a Pascal forum, not a Forth forum :D

Take a look at the following:
freepascal wiki has some good links to books - https://wiki.freepascal.org/Pascal_and_Lazarus_Books_and_Magazines
quick intro - https://castle-engine.io/modern_pascal

Nothing will make one appreciate the readability of pascal more than trying to debug an old Forth program that you wrote years ago :) But agree that it was great fun to play with back in the days of 64K memories and 8" floppy disks.
