so why isn't this working??? what is the key step that has been left out

What about trying not a keyword? What about things like "FileExists",
"TProcess", "TForm" (if the correct units are included of course).
ok, so i opened my satsort project and placed the cursor on "Classes" in the
uses statement and hit F1... /that/ worked! this project doesn't have any GUI
stuffs and is not "process" oriented (AFAIK) so i didn't try those keywords (as
i called them in my previous post)...
the lhelp window is opening /two/ indicators on my w2k status bar (why??) and it
is indicating "lcl[]" which indicates that it has found the lcl.chm file... but
there is also a fcl.chm and rtl.chm in place...
i am also getting a box, labeled "Help selector" to select one of several (two
in this case) identical entries... why is this??
also basic things like 'writeln', 'write', and similar do not give any help...
but then some stuff, like 'integer' popup with a "Help selector" window as
mentioned above and one of the two RTL (ahh! found a RTL[] hit) options
(objpas.pp) talks about "redefinition of integer as 32-bit type" whereas the
other one (systemh.inc) says "a signed 16-bits integer"...
so which one is correct?
why are both being shown to me?
why does basic stuff, eg: 'write' and 'writeln' not have any help at all?
where is the help for items like 'PadRight', 'AddChar', 'PadLeft', 'AddCharR'
and similar??
remember, "we" are coming at this as a pure newbie with some coding knowledge,
no books, and an extremely simple background in programing... yes, much of the
basic stuff really does need to be specified ;)
