how can you do a program that will run as a .exe or something so it can work in different computers??

when you compile the program, a .exe is automatically saved into the same folder as the source file, and it has the same name too! it can be run on any computer, and it doesn't need the source code with it.

Occasionally, one must change where the project is being compiled to. I know that in TP7, you have to change the comile from memory to disk to create an .exe file.

You can't just save it as a .EXE file. It will still save it as a Pascal file, but with a .EXE extension. In TP5.5, load your program, then under the COMPILE menu, select DESTINATION (=DISK). Now, when you run your program or select COMPILE->MAKE (F9 key) it will write the .EXE file to the current directory.

So, if you load your program, FILENAME.PAS and then select COMPILE -> DESTINATION=DISK. When you hit F9, FILENAME.EXE will be created.

Nope. Windows will catch the keystroke before it gets to your program and your program will never see it.
