Hi, Bryan.  Thanks for that information with ForeHelp.  Till now I didn't 
know Borland sold it.

Um, yep.  that is one thing I have been trying to say that you said much 
better.  Culture shock.  But I finally found a good book that made it clear - 
er- clearer.  :)  It is looking a lot better the last 3 - 4 days.  I will 
create a small one that is an example in this book and see how it goes.
 
Thanks for the help again.

is 'no longer' after March 1, 1997.  See you on the Delphi Newsgrps on the 
Internet if not here.
