Checking on Linux x86 (i.e. 32-bit): F1 on the TButton on the standard 
tab does nothing, ditto for a TButton on a form.

F1 on a TButton in the upper pane of the Object Inspector brings up a 
browser for online help, while F1 on one of its properties in the lower 
pane brings up lhelp- this is an unfortunate inconsistency.

Scrollbar is OK in lhelp's right-hand pane, but cursor keys are 
associated with the left-hand pane (i.e. even after a mouse click in the 
help text, page up/down don't work as expected).
