Dear Sir: I download the Free Pascal Compiler Version 2.0.2, when I run it , no output window display, could you help me to fix this problem? Thank you! Dear Linda Li,

First please state your operating system so a more useful help could be provided.

Secondly based on the guess that you are running fpc under Windows (I guess it is XP) I will give you some hints. First what you are probably running is fpc.exe which is in fact is a console based compiler which for a starter is not very easy to work with. I would advise you to download Lazarus http://lazarus.freepascal.org/ as it is a Delphi like GUI for developing applications with Free Pascal. Another ide is MSEgui http://mypage.bluewin.ch/msegui/
Secondly try running the fpc under the console that is (under XP) run cmd and the run fpc.exe. You should see a complete list of options supported by the compiler. If for any reason the fpc could not start it will display a useful error message and you should post it in here to get more help.
