Actually, I have yet to get my password from the bug tracker and I have been 
lazy in not creating a new profile which I'll do after writing this email :)

The unit source name is:

pos_button.pas

I named the .lpk file:

posbutton.lpk

I figured that the names should not be exact, but I suppose that the IDE somehow 
  stripped the underscore ?

At any rate,

1. I created the source file first.

2. Create the packages and added through "Add Unit" tab.

3. Saved the lpk file as posbutton.lpk

4. Compiled it and that is when it overwrote my source file.
