API stands for Application Programming Interface. It's the name given to a
collection of functions that together comprise a means of communication. In
this context it is referring to the Windows API which is to say all the
functions that Windows provides for applications to talk to it.

VCL stands for Visual Component Library and refers to the objects and
classes that Borland created to help us develop windowed applications.

These two things are separate projects and thus have separate help files.
