main_island_form.CreateaNewIsland1Click(Sender);
is correct. Now it compiles on my desktop (Linux Ubuntu 10.10 LTS)

Now the problem I have is that the default Form1 is in the project from
the default project & I cannot figure out where I add *my* forms to the
project and remove the default form1.

Please tell me where this is documented. I used the Lazarus menu option
(I'm on my laptop without Lazarus installed) to view the forms in the
project but I couldn't find the "add forms to project" option anywhere.
Also I could not find the project set default form or project name and
icon options.

This is compounded by the fact that the default path to the local html
help files is blank even tho' it is apparently installed!!! Where in
God's name is this documented?!?

I find the lazarus website to be massive and there appears to not be a
search option so that I can type in, Google style, what I am looking
for.
 
Also, IIRC in the view forms in project dialog clicking on the Help
button does not do anything!!! Is this a bug?!? Surely if the help file
is not found then couldn't we just have a showmessage('Help file not
found!'); Maybe even print in the message window the path that it was
searching for the help file. Preferably such that one can copy the path
into a text editor, and then change the lazarus search path options (I
lose track of this menu option too!) Having the documentation to read
would really help!!!

I am having problems getting the latest updates on the laptop. So, I'll
need to investigate that.
