Folks:

I bought, downloaded and installed D2007 in late Dec 2007, and was surprised 
to find that the online help accessible in the IDE doesn't seem to contain 
any info on the Delphi language. So although the IDE-accessible help 
advertises new language features, and contains a lot of help for other parts 
of Dev Studio not actually included with Delphi, you can't find out how to 
actually use those features.

After some poking around, I did discover PDFs Help.pdf and Reference.pdf in 
...\RADStudio\5.0\Help but they are dated 10/18/2005 and are actually for 
BDS 2006.

I realize that the language has probably only changed modestly over the one 
version, but still it seems a waste to not know about and be able to use 
whatever it is that was improved.

So does anyone know of prospects to get language docs for the actual version 
I bought?

Thanks,

Graham

Perhaps this is the same info as in the PDF's, 
but did you check under (from the IDE) 
"Help|CodeGear Help", and then click on 
the "Contents" tab at the bottom, and look 
under "RAD Studio"?
