It doesn't matter.  The control was being initialized before the ShowMessage().
I single stepped through the method that assigned Host and Port.  You know
what I saw when I hovered my mouse cursor on the ->Host and ->Port properties?
NULL.

I gave you an ENTIRE class that illustrated the problem, which by the way
is the ONLY place that TIdTCPClient is referenced anywhere in my code.
You're so busy convincing yourself that I'm some stumbling idiot that can
hardly tie my own shoes let alone write software that you're no longer looking
at what is going on - if you had, you certainly wouldn't have chastised me for
not initializing a variable before using it when I was clearly doing so
in the constructor method of the class.

You're a brilliant guy Gambit, but you need to try to help people without the
air of superiority you exude.  :)

In my research to see if I could get anything out of the control, I tried
polling the Version property to see if that had anything in it.  

Here's where it gets weird - the version was 9.0.<something>!  That would
go a long way toward explaining what is going on.

Any tips on how to get rid of an Indy9 that I never installed? :)

thanks. (really!)
