I'm not subscribed to that forum as I do not use lazarus. I use
freepascal without an IDE. So by all means: enlighten me :-)

You are talking about the wiki here. I was talking about the programmers
guide and language reference. The names may be off, but if you would
have clicked that link I sent in my previous message, you would have
noticed that that page is no wiki at all.

Read the pages. What is wrong with them? If something is wrong, then
file a bug!

Now, since something terrible has gone wrong in pointing you to the two
documents I am talking about, I'll walk through the procedure with thee:
    - Go to www.freepascal.org
    - Click documentation (6th entry under general)
    - Select one of the docuemts, humour me and pick the language reference.
    - You are now here:
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/current/ref/ref.html

Now tell me (or file a report), what is so "terrible" about this?
