Thanks, I did so and started coding. :)

Now I ran into a problem which I cannot say belongs to the selection
of type of program or Lazaus itself or somethiong else:

I am building a communications class that will hook into the existing
Delphi sources. 
I write something like this:

TSSController = class
  private
    FComm: TSSConnection; //Defined in Delphi unit
  public
    Constructor Create(ConfigFile: string);
    Destructor  Destroy; override;
end;

destructor TSSController.Destroy;
begin
  FComm. <== cursor right after the period
  inherited Destroy;
end;

Where TSSConnection is declared in one of the Delphi files located in
the same directory as all other sources (the project dir).

When I enter the period after FComm I expected Lazarus to autocomplete
with the valid identifiers, in this case Free, but nothing happens...

My test project where I checked connectivity to the GPIO did not
behave like this, but it was a GUI project. What did I do wrong?
