OTHERWISE should work, right?
Someone being far too creative could try to implement those procs as a UNIT for compatibility.
I have no idea what the '.' thing is.
What about the array format? I am curious about that.

HPs Pascal was originally developed by Bob Fraley, and is basically ISO 7185 standard Pascal. I believe the only syntax extensions were the OTHERWISE clause for case statements, the array[firstindex FOR length] subarray construct, and provision for separate compilation by an isolated '.' ending the compilation without a normal outer code block. His original implementation made OTHERWISE a reserved word, which I avoided in PascalP at the cost of context sensitivity.
Any added standard procedures would be fairly system specific, although somebody mentioned 'overprint'. This simply flushes a line with a terminal <cr>, rather than a <crlf> combination (as from writeln), so that a following line overprints. 'prompt' is in the same category, except that no line termination characters are used, and is analagous to the C fflush() function. write, writeln, overprint, prompt should all share the same user syntax, with the difference being the handling of the output buffer and line termination characters. My memory has some dropped bits however.
