The whole on-line help system is based on KEY WORDS...
Just type OnCreate in the help INDEX and pick from the hyper-links.. There 
are links to OnShow, OnActivate and OnPaint. Or better yet, highlight 
OnCreate in a forms events page in the Object Inspector and press F1 or any 
other component with a event or property you want information on. Also you 
can place the cursor in the editor on a key word you want help with and press 
F1. Piece of cake...
The on-line help is far from a black hole..(if you got the updated versions)
It's just learning how to use it. Once learned it's fairly quick to find 
something. The examples are a little lacking though. Your welcome...
