I started with TP4 / TP5 on DOS also, but have not done anything 
with it for many years.  Also am looking to re-learn things, and 
with FreePascal.  I've now got it (FP) installed on Linux, along 
wiht Lazarus, and am planning to fiddle with it as time permits.  
Maybe we can all revive this echo a little with questions as we go 
along...  :-)

One of my issues at the moment is that a lot of what I did write 
years ago (just a few small utilities for personal use) relied on 
some "third party" Units.  Specifically the "Turbo Technojocks 
Toolkit" units.  Have already tried to compile one of those units 
on FP and it fails.  So, my small programs can't (as currently 
written) be compiled on FP.  I wish somebody with the skills 
would/could "port" those units over to FP.  I suppose there are 
probably some similar units available for FP, but haven't had time 
to look into that much yet.
