AG: i.e. with project->add unit ?

AG: From which (search) paths, have a few tunables ?

----------------

(like

AG: That is all fine, but the full control ability (of search process) 
interested to me !

----------------

AG: What example?, that IDE behaviour remember to me an old bore ? :)

----------------

Vincent Snijders>Yiu can compile the IDE with fpc 2.2.0 and develop 
applications with fpc
                > 2.3.1.

AG: You right, for my production-critical tasks i will have deed just 
so.

=====================
and last

A have construct a quite simple sample, that demonstrates 
FPC231<=>Lazarus lacks.
It is only simplified exposition of #10176 issue. I will bring new 
issue, as soon as
manits will available. As was supposed by me, the presence of my own 
form ancestor
is essential to "unit-read-error" revealing (the IDE-old-bor'ity :) )

A think, that discuss subject "Must IDE editor be such intelligent
(in syntax comprehension sense) as compiler, or syntax highlighting is 
enough ?"
would be useful.
What thoughts developers respected about this ?
