so why isn't this working??? what is the key step that has been left out
of the instructions??
What about trying not a keyword? What about things like "FileExists",
"TProcess", "TForm" (if the correct units are included of course).
also basic things like 'writeln', 'write', and similar do not give any
help... but then some stuff, like 'integer' popup with a "Help selector"
window as mentioned above and one of the two RTL (ahh! found a RTL[] hit)
options (objpas.pp) talks about "redefinition of integer as 32-bit type"
whereas the other one (systemh.inc) says "a signed 16-bits integer"...
so which one is correct?
why are both being shown to me?
why does basic stuff, eg: 'write' and 'writeln' not have any help at all?
Where do you get that from ? It is documented.
See
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/system/index-5.html
Select 'Writeln'
Which leads you to
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/system/writeln.html
etc.
where is the help for items like 'PadRight', 'AddChar', 'PadLeft', 'AddCharR'
and similar??
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/strutils/index-5.html
Of course, you need to know in which unit an identifier is.
To overcome this problem, a search engine for the docs is in the making.
(in fact, it's finished, we just need to deploy it properly)
