Any advice (including alternative IDEs for standard non-extended Pascal) most appreciated.
RHIDE works very well for that purpose, and also for integrated debugging, together with the GPC compiler. But it is for DOS applications with the DJGPP system (instaed of mingw). It is usually run in a Windows DOS box. The only drawback I see is the old looking text mode screen, with only 50x80 lines x column resolution !
I use also a more comfortable editor: a shareware TextPad. Very low priced, but this can be a problem in a school. It can easily be parameterized to launch the compiler and parse correctly the resulting error messages. But it has no integrated debugger, and a line debugger like gdb is really a nightmare.
While we are discussing, I have seen that more recent versions of Blodshed do begin to have a decent integrated debugger for C C++. The adaptation to pascal will probably have to wait some time, given the answers of the Chief to your message.
