Thread BDS 2006 Revisited

Hi,

Finally made the switch to BDS 2006 after getting a new computer to
install it on. This time it installed with no problems (4 times & no
luck on my old computer). I turned off all the features everyone has
mentioned cause problems in the editor and once I undocked the forms
from the designer it was much more familiar to use. I think I am fine
with the new tool palette in BDS 2006.

I must say that I can't stand the online help since it seems to search
way too many places when I just want stuff on Delphi and I can't find
any simple tables of contents anywhere when I just want to look through
the language reference or a component library help. Maybe I'm just
missing something, but I would really like to have the old local help
back. I also am curious what will happen when I take my computer on
vacation to work & I have no internet access.

On a very positive note I just stumbled across something that I'm pretty
sure wasn't in D6 and may have been introduced in BDS 2006... advanced
record structures that allow constructors and methods. What a great
addition to the language!

Anyway, finally a happy camper with D2006.
