It shows, what the IDE sets up behind the scenes. Just like the IDE is  
a frontend for gdb and fpc, it is also a front end for the codetools.
For example if you have Delphi you can add defines for the Delphi  
sources, so you can browse them.

It will load the windows lpk. Opening a package does not change any  
file (except for the IDE history lists). Of course some macro values  
will change like unit paths and include paths.
