I have (as University teacher) only 30 M of internet, so downloading without
need is not possible. Mail-loading doesn't work sometimes. rtl is big
enough. I'll subscribe it by email, but it may have no result. And I need to
write it to diskettes to use on my home (without telephone) PC (without
internet).

Ok, I'll send this tomorrow.

May be... The error may disappear when changing (=mixing) fcl, but it always
appears after a little changes done.
Besides, error appears only when calling these dialogs (menu, down buttons
F3-F4, or F3-F4). Main form works fine.

> BTW, TListView supports multiselection.

Does it mean that current version of lazarus have TListItem.Selected
property, but not dummy? Last time I watched it called a dummy method.
