Why should they be called the same? Please remember we are making a Delphi
like tool not a Delphi compatible tool. Do not expect this to be able to
compile and build Delphi application as they are currently written for
Delphi. You will be able to use it and write programs they same way that
you do in Dlephi but not use Delphi code in it's entirity.

I am currently working on the layout for the DFM or LFM file which will be
using XML which is nothing like the Delphi format. Expect there to be some
differences most likely for the better.
