[Lazarus] RightToLeft Forms (for Hebrew, Arabic...)

[Zaher Dirkey]

Hi Avishai,

Most BidiMode users that i knew used forums instead of messages list.
About me, we have a big problem this days, I left my work and my home, so
when i can have a good computer table i will return to work on Lazarus
again.

Peace for you all.
