Once again you are creating unnecessary work for yourself. Michael van
Canneyt has already documented all the basic (built-in) types in the
FPC Language Reference (the chapter on Types). Can't get more clear
than that.
the problem, then, must either be in the "latest stable" chm files i downloaded
OR in lhelp...
my path was this...
1. Help->Online Help
2. browser loads file:///C:/freepascal/laz/docs/index.html
3. click on "Installing CHM help in the IDE" ->
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Installing_Help_in_the_IDE#Installing_CHM_Help_for_The_RTL.2C_FCL_and_LCL_in_the_Lazarus_IDE
4. follow the instructions (as i detailed in my first post) to download the
"latest stable Lazarus CHM help files from"
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Documentation/
5. there i chose "Lazarus 0.9.30.2" since it has the newest date (2011 Nov 25)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Documentation/Lazarus%200.9.30.2/
6. there i chose "fpc-lazarus-doc-chm-0.9.30.2.tar.bz2" because it has the same
date AND it is CHM whereas the only other option in there is HTML...
7. i completed the rest of the installation and here we are...
i note that martin has added a step 6 to those wiki instructions... it has you
confirm that HelpExe is proper and also says to set HelpFilesPath to where the
chm files are... but[!!] i _have not_ changed HelpFilesPath from its blank
setting and the help /is/ working but not for all terms tested... i'm not sure,
at all, what is going on there or why it is working without that field being
filled in...
[wow, i didn't realize that my thread would cause such a stir as it has...]
