Thanks for the clarification. Actually, the first sentence in section 
6.1. says "The following basic types are denoted by predeclared 
identifiers." The wording indicates that there are other basic types 
even if it doesn't explicitly say that the additional ones are pointer 
and procedure types. Previously I was under the impression that the 
basic types were exactly the ones mentioned in section 6.1.
