program Project1;
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
uses SysUtils;

begin
  // Insert user code here
  halt(1); { tell them bug happened }
 { take your pick on a signal }
  halt(0); { tell them nothing happend }
end.

in your batch, you should do

@echo off
project1
if ERRORLEVEL 1 echo bug happend


hope this helps. I know halt is not so elegant, but since main doesn't
return a function here. If memory serves, unless borland changed the
compiler radically, this should also walk the AtExit chain to do some
automagic clean up of file handles and the like...however, YMMV.
