[DUG] D2007 help incomplete or install issue

[Robert martin]

Hi

Yup all the time.  I cant believe the help is as bad as it is.  Surely 
all they needed to do was cut and paste the help from D7 into the new 
product (most of it is unchanged after all).  Yesterday I looked up 
Ord() and was told it didn't exist.  However Asc was found and bought up 
Visual basic help !!!! 

Oh the irony. 

And yes I thought I had disabled searching anything but Delphi Help.  
Someone ad code gear should be fired for the job that has been done on 
the help system.  I had very high hopes for the help after SP 1 (after 
most of the fixes seemed to be help related) but It seems no better, if 
not worse.
