yes, i did place the cursor on the word "implementation"... yes, i called it a
"keyword" because it is a keyword into the index of the help document
structure...
my apologies for any confusion...
I feel no need for apologies here. The *help* system is based on *keywords* (see
TControl.HelpKeyword). Context sensitive (F1) help is based on the *word* under
the mouse cursor. The language specifies e.g. *reserved* words, but no specific
keywords.
thank you, dodi... you explained it much better than i... it can be confusing,
though, when one is thinking of one thing when they should be thinking of
another... in our context of the help system, "write", "writeln",
"implementation", "sysutils", "objects", "integer" and the like are all
keywords... their individual status in the language is moot... we do agree on
that :)
The different handling, required for e.g. language words, source code
identifiers or dialog window elements, must not be known to the help user; it
doesn't help him. It's sufficient to point the user to the ref.chm file, whose
absence is the most probable reason when the documentation of "implementation"
is not found.
i do not have this chm file... i downloaded exactly what i was told to
download... seems that either the instructions or the file are incomplete :?
