Also, setting default to Tree will cause the DFM to not include a property 
reference to the property if its True, because its the default, and set in 
Create.

In your constructor you need to set FAutoTab to True again.

my understanding is that the "default True" declaration prevents the ui
streaming the property to .dfm etc when the value is in its default
state. this apparantly saves a lot of space, speeds form loading etc.

you also need (usually in the .create) to set the actual value.

i usually do something like:

const 
 defAutoTab=true;

property AutoTab: Boolean read FAutoTab write FAutoTab default
defAutoTab;

{in the constuctor}
 FAutoTab:=defAutoTab

Setting default True is only your promise that you will set FAutoTab := True
in the constructor.

I have a property declared like so:
property AutoTab: Boolean read FAutoTab write FAutoTab default True;
But when I whack the component on a form, Autotab is false.

According to the help text this should work, am I missing something?

For this kind of error, I usually rely on compiler automatic point to the
line and my editor color settings to find bug.

Just a suggestion, change default color setting a different one.

Take out the semi-colon after the Class Parent
I'd also advise assigning a visibility specifier (in this case Public)

TTaskList = class(TList) // No semi-colon here...
public
  procedure SaveToFile(const FileName :String);
end;
