noob question about lazarus

[will57]

hi all,

I'm a total newb to Pascal and this is my first post on these forums.


My question is really simple. I've installed Lazarus on my computer with the required extras.

I'm following a tutorial and the program is supposed to write some lines of text to the screen but nothing appears. What I do get is a box saying execution stopped or something like it.

Here's the code :

program Kitty_Cat;

begin
   Writeln('This program');
   Writeln('actually does something.');
   Writeln(' hey' );
   readln
end.




{ Result of execution

This program
actually does something.

}

sadly the program doesn't do anything.


Any ideas what I need to do to get the text written to the screen ?

Thanks for any help.
