Do yourself a favour and read some introduction (book or tutorial on the net (I gave you some starting links in a previous post)) on programming in TurboPascal (since you seem to be interested in programming console applications).
(Look for books by Jef Dunteman or Tom Swan, you can bye them for almost nothing in any good second hand bookstore, and they'll be worth every penny you spend on them)

This will answer most of the basic questions you have (and it will teach you how to do structured programming as well).

If you have further questions, please tell us what you want to achieve, show us what you have done (actual code) and at what point you got stuck.
We'll be happy to help.

OK thanks. im already using this website; http://pascalprogramming.byethost15.com
It has worked out well so far! ive also re-wrote my console code without  the Goto codes so thanxs  .

Should i know more?

Even if you're only playing with console it's worth to know other units (Contnrs, DateUtils, etc.). The documentation is your friend.

Also, my suggestion: Drop Crt unit completely (it sucks, though handy in some cases), use Keyboard, Video, and Mouse unit (KVM) instead.

if i drop the crt will i be able to use TextBackground and codes like that?
And thanks!

Not as simple as that, you'll need to look for how its implemented in Video unit.

I recommend you to not use the units DOS and Windows. DOS is deprecated (use it only to help porting old Turbo Pascal programs) and Windows works on Windows operating system only so you're limiting your applications to that operating system only. There are alternatives on other units (i.e. sysutils).
