I can cast light on both of them... The help does the nasties to everyone in our
office...
Until Inprise fixes it (I would think it'd be minor surely) I doubt there's a
solution...
On another note I've been disappointed with the changes in help from version 1. The
help has become more complete (a good thing) and generally seems to be less
mistakes (also a good thing) but removal of some elements like all of the examples
(delphi 1 had example code for using every property and method of every object)
and some indexing elements (try finding VIRTUAL KEY CODES)...
Oh well I don't have to refer often to the help any more but I remember keenly the
dependance when learning delphi and feel that the new structure must be harder
to use... Code complete/Insight is a great thing though...
