You need to differentiate here:
1. Free Pascal is a compiler and thus the tool you use for compiling
your Pascal code
2. The IDE is called fp (or also "text mode IDE") and this is not a DOS
application (ok... a DOS version also exists, but only if you download
it ;) ). It's a normal Windows command line application and uses the
Windows Console API. fp also works on other platforms like Linux and OS/2.
In fairness, a lot of people refer to "DOS prompt" even when they really
mean a Linux shell session (Konsole etc.). Even more people call that
sort of thing a terminal, which is particularly irritating to those of
us who do use terminal emulators on a regular basis.
