Just two thoughts on the help. First, it really needs a "back" button so that you
can go back to where you just came from. TDesktop.MessageDialog for example has
parameter types, and you click on one to see the details, and then can't get back
easily.

Second, it would be really nice to be able to copy and paste from the help, to get
parameter types and names etc. TMsgDlgResultEvent details for example, to just
paste that into my code.

There are already back and forward buttons available for the help browser.
They are located on the toolbar below the help pane itself and look like
left and right arrows respectively. You may have to move the right-most
splitter to see them as the icons on the toolbar become obscured if its
moved too far left.

I agree that being able to select and copy text from the help pane would be
very useful.

The 1280 x 1024 screen size bites me again. I just see the page name (which serves
no purpose to me?) there, unless I close the object inspector.
