The $I+/$I- options in Lisa Pascal are actually instructions to the code 
generator.  Lisa Pascal's compiler produces intermediate code (a .i file)
which is then processed by a code generator module to produce linkable
object code.  The options in question simply tell the code generator to
either delete or not delete the .i file after it is finished.

Therefore it seems that you should be able to ignore the $I+/- options
with no problem.  My source is the Lisa Pascal 3.0 Release Notes.

Sorry to use the net to respond, but I wasn't able to email to you 
directly.
