[DUG] D2007 help incomplete or install issue

[John Bird]

Looks the same as you said to me - the Dinkumware link brings up a not found
error.   I wonder what is supposed to be there :) ?

Using the left hand window to Search for READLN brought up only topics from
the Indy Help, but searching from the right hand window brought up

RAD Studio VCL Win32 Reference

System.ReadLn

Reads a line of text from a file.
Description
In Delphi code, the ReadLn procedure reads a line of text and then skips to
the next line of the file. 
ReadLn(F) with no parameters causes the current file position to advance to
the beginning of the next line if there is one; otherwise, it goes to the
end of the file. 
If F is omitted, the global variable Input is used, which accesses the
processes standard input file. Use of Input in GUI applications raises
special issues. 
Note: {$I+} handles runtime errors using exceptions. When using {$I-}, use
IOResult to check for I/O errors.

So the stuff is in there......looks like you need to know your way around
the help to find things.

I tend to use a combination of 3 helps:  Google (eg "Delphi Readln", Delphi
5, Delphi 2007.   Have to say probably in that order too, mainly because the
D2007 document explorer can be glacially slow (thanks again MS).  The actual
help content is OK though in the main.
