Thanks for that info.


On a side note:
I see the Lazarus team still didn't update the OnHelp event - which uses
the event signature written for Windows 3.1 help viewers (also showing
Delphi's ancestry). I have suggested in the past they take up the Kylix
3 OnHelp signature (shown below) which makes a lot more sense for
cross-platform, newer or custom written help systems.

type
 THelpEvent = function (HelpType: THelpType; HelpContext: Integer;
HelpKeyword: string; HelpFile: string; var Handled: Boolean): Boolean of
object;
