Kevin Baba mentioned this to Gary Weinfurther:
 KB> Is there any complication with this and using an old version of Delphi
 KB> with Windows 95?
Any version of Delphi will work with Windows 95.
 KB> How do I instantiate an object?
By calling its class constructor.  To "instantiate" means to create a single 
instance of an object.  For example, to create or instantiate a string list, 
you'd do it like this:
  var
      MyStringList : TStringList;
  begin
      MyStringList := TStringList.Create;
Don't forget to free an object when you are done with it.  Like so:
      MyStringList.Free;
 KB> (and, incidentally, is
 KB> the correct pronunciation "del-feigh" or "del-fee"?
There's been a lot of debate about this.  I believe the classic pronunciation 
of the word is "del-fee", but I and everyone else I know (and I guess most 
Americans) call it "del-fi."
 KB> As I said, I'm a tad new to Windows programming.
No problem, we're here to help.
