True, in Delphi it is declared in the Forms unit. That makes sense to
them because TApplication is also in the Forms unit. And the only two
classes that use OnHelp (THelpEvent) is TApplication and TCustomForm.

But in FPC, TCustomApplication is in it's own unit and not tied to a GUI
toolkit. So in FPC I can understand why they did not define it in
CustApp unit (not all apps descend from TCustomApplication) or Forms
unit (because FPC doesn't have a GUI) but rather the Classes unit.
