Yes, I don't have it here, but I got discouraged soon when I found 
problems, sorry to be non-persistent and retry ;-)
To be honest, after years using the TurboIDEs, when I first tried the 
FreePascal IDE, it was supposed to be similar to the TurboIDE, but quite 
buggy, I turned to use the commandline compiler (which works very well), 
and I expected to do the same with WatcomC. In fact, the only thing that 
I miss *a lot* is the full library reference for the function syntax 
(fortunately for me, FPC is very excellently documented). I could live 
without all the rest ;-)

PS: I forgot to mention that nenwest versions of the FPC IDE seems to 
work very well, or that's whay they say, because I have occasionally 
used it yet ;-)
