Yes that is a bit confusing. I used to put documentation in the
"Documentation" directory on SourceForge. Now I put them in the same
directory as the fpGUI release, because it is part of the release
process. The latest INF docs can be found here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/fpgui/files/fpGUI/1.4.1/
Filename: fpgui_docs_inf_1.4.1.tar.gz (1.9MB)
I've updated the website to reflect that.

You can place the INF files in any directory of your choice - I've got
mine in a directory off my $HOME directory. No need for them to be in a
globally shared (multi-user) location.
For further instructions on setting up DocView with various IDE's and
Editors, it is documented on this web page:
http://fpgui.sourceforge.net/docview_ide_integration.shtml
The DocView help file itself [docview.inf] explains the various ways you
can use DocView and all possible command line parameters.
In your case above, you can simply add the parameter value:
/usr/local/share/lazarus/components/infhelp1/ -k $CurToken
in the External Tools entry. That is what the Delphi 7 instructions used.
