So am I.  Unfortunately, I haven't found exactly that.  Most of the
books I have seen are either beginner's tutorials (which is what I need
at the moment), or more abstract.  For example, Delphi 2.0 Unleashed is
a pretty good book, but it doesn't seem to have much in the way of
reference material.  I am hoping that the Delphi 2.0 Developers Guide
(due out soon) will prove to be what I am looking for.  Now, for Borland
C++, there is Tom Swan's excellent "Mastering Borland C++ 4.5," which
pretty much lists each command, and gives an example.  What is really
needed is a book like the old Osborne:McGraw-Hill "reference" series.
They did one for Borland C++ 3.1, and seem to be maintaining the series
for C, C++, and the Internet.  Oh well, maybe something will come along.
