"sourcefo.activepage" returns the currently active "tsourcepage". The editbuffer is located in a "trichstringdatalist" and can be accessed by "tsourcepage.source". Suggestion: In order to find a specific function click on mainfo.mainmenu1 and check in objectinspector the according "action" or "onexecute" properties of the "submenu"s. Doubleclick into "onexecute" jumps to the handler in source editor. > * Ability to open a newly created file in the editor window. sourcefo.openfile(). > * Ability to query Project Options > - I would need things like the location of the project file.
