There is a readme, that is also displayed in the example manager. It 
explains the difference between the 2 completions

The code is very simple (but yes maybe one or 2 comments).

But the problem of the OP seems something else

Well, if he runs it, the runtime is self-explaining. And it acts 100% 
like the IDE. So not sure why that example is not what he is looking for?


--- readme
Example for SynEdit's auto-completion features.

SynEdit (the editor used by the IDE) provides 2 different 
auto-completion features:

1) TSynCompletion (The word completion feature used by the IDE)
Displays a drop-down providing a list of completions (or replacements) 
for the current word. The completions, must be provided, and updated by 
the application.
If the user typed "Sel", then a list of words beginning with "Sel" may 
be displayed.


2) TSynAutoComplete
Replaces the current word/token, with a fixed pre-defined substitution.
If the user typed "IB", the replacement may be "if foo then begin"
