So, buy Kylix.  I have.  Hell: you can even download a free,
usable-but-not-quite-full-featured version from Borland.  Basically, it's
Turbo Pascal, but with a GUI thrown in to help with the dreary stuff. 
Cool.  Though, I have to admit, somewhat hard to get into -- the included
docs suck.  I've got a good intro book at home that I can dig up the title
of if anyone's interested.
