(add-hook 'pascal-mode-hook
          (lambda()
            (set (make-local-variable 'compile-command)
                 (concat "fpc -Ci -Co -Cr -CR -Ct -So -Ss -g " 
buffer-file-name))
            (define-key pascal-mode-map "\C-c\C-v" 'compile)))

Ok, you're right. It's working with that call now. There need to be 2 
parens, one for the concat, the other for the set.
Thanks!
