Oh, how we can make mountains out of the complete lack of any sort
of molehill! <g>

I read Danny's statement more like "Oh, yeah, I hear there's this
other part of Delphi called an IDE, with a visual form designer.
Oh, they shipped one in Delphi 1? I wouldn't know, I never use one
of those things. I always use ShowMessage, not MessageDlg, in the
compiler code." Now you've gone and streeeeetched it all the way
out into a new feature announcement!

Don't scare Danny back into the cave!

(j/k about the ShowMessage thing, Danny!)
