Turbo Pascal (and its sibling Turbo C) also had a text-mode IDE that could open multiple files, had mouse support, syntax highlighting etc. and if you ran your program, it would run it and when it was finished you were back in the IDE. You could even set breakpoints and step through your code.


Don't forget about Turbo Basic!

It was a great language and IDE for a young self-taught programmer.
