That is all I was looking for, a good working example of this features.
You know, I didn't know about the code explorer, Lazarus has so many
features that it takes a while to make good use of all of them.
Thank you very much, I will have a lot of fun in the next evenings
playing with the sources.

Thank you for the explanations it's more than enough for my needs. I do
not have to search in anchestors.
The simplicity is astounding, thank you for this gem :), the more I know
about Lazarus, the more I like it.
I hope to make good use of it.
Ciao, Dean
