Thanks, I did not know about this...
Different approach but with more options! :)
Solved my problem, but I still wonder about the left arrow button...

When talking about project files, I wonder what is the advantage of
adding the files into the project over just having them reside in the
project source directory?
I have noted that whenever I start a new unit in the IDE File menu
this file gets added to the project along with the lpr file.

All other files I have retrieved from subversion and brought into the
source dir are not, but seems to work fine anyway.
Except now with this rightclick on the tab they are now located under
"Other tabs" instead of "Tabs for project"...

And are "project files" going to be listed in the lpi or lps file?
Because they are not in the lpr file...

Which of these should go into SVN control?
<project>.lpi is what I have there now.
I think one is just transactional data and the other holds settings
and such.
