Hah! , how 'bout this:

        ------------- ~/.gpcrc -------------------

        --borland-pascal --automake

       ----------------- end ---------------------

              and:

       ------------- /usr/bin/bpc ----------------

       #! /bin/sh

       if [ -f ~/.gpcrc ] ; then CFG=`cat ~/.gpcrc` ; fi
       gpc $CFG $*

       ------------------ end ---------------------

The rest is up to your imagination.

Greetings,
     JanJaap
