My understanding is that Borland only use the A prefix when there is a
conflict with a property or method name in the class, but P, F and T are
universal.
However rules were made to be broken .....

I don't see "P" around too often but I do see "A" all the time.
We have used "P" since before I started so we stick with it, but we
could have easily been using "A" instead. It definitely helps.
Its actually pretty incosistent in borlands code. Looking in DBTables we
have:
constructor Create(AOwner: TObject; Handle: hDBICur; CBType: CBType;
CBBuf: Pointer; CBBufSize: Integer; CallbackEvent:
TBDECallbackEvent;
Chain: Boolean);
procedure AddSession(ASession: TSession);
function GetSession(Index: Integer): TSession;
Many ouf out Third party components, such as Developer Express and
Toolbar2000 use "A".

Is it?
Not wanting to start a standards argument, but for example
AFAIK the Borland standard for attributes of a class is F for
field, e.g. FMyAttribute:
String. I've never seen P for parameter used widely at all...

Note: It is standard to prefix parameters with "P" (stands for
parameter) or "A" (stands for argument) so you should have
PMyTable or PTable.
Similarly Local variables are usually prefixed with "L". In
the end it makes it easy for figure out whene a variable
comes from. "P" is a parameter. "L"
is a local variable and anything else is a property of your class.
