[DUG] Delphi 2007 ignores my search path

[Rohit Gupta]

Berend,

there are multiple problems in D2007.  I am not sure which one you are 
striking.

1.  The first use - it cant find the files in the uses clause as it wont 
add the .pas to them.  Once you have wiped its nose, it will remember 
the next time you start up.

2.  It relies more on the units declared in the dpr file.  For others, 
it often will not find them, even though earlier versions would.  One 
fix is to add all of these (which I do not want to do) to the project file.

3.  Many packages need to be in delphi setup and in the system path.  
Remember that the system path if too long will stop working.  And each 
version of Delphi blithely adds multiple items to it.
