There are a lot of fans of "with" ;-) . I have been burned however long time
ago. Now when I get a new code from somebody, my first task is to remove any
"with" from it ;-). As far as I am concerned "with" is a Pascal design bug.
May the guy who invented "with" track "with" bugs for eternity ;-) .
With best regards,

If you want stable code, never use the "with" or else ... ;-)
I did learn this even in the early Delphi days ;)
Moreover AFAIK, even the newest Delphi does not show the value of
variables that are qualified using a "with". So you even can't debug the
broken code decently.
