agreed! +1000000000000~

this is a problem that i've run into more than once in the last few years that 
i've been trying to work with lazarus and FPC... sadly it has caught me out in 
numerous instances and, being a newbie to the FPC and/or Lazarus environments 
and methodologies, i don't know what to ask about or where to properly ask... so 
i read and read and read and hope that i come across a workable answer at some 
point... but then i operate a lot differently than others, too ;)
