The IDE has a window in which you can type a line of code that it will
execute.  You can also do this (to a certain degree) in Delphi, but it is
not documented and the interface is not as good.

There is the ever useful SendKeys function - Borland ought to build this
into Delphi.  Its such a commonly used function yet developers have to
resort to hunting the web for code to do it.

You can create an adhoc Crystal Report from a datasource.
