The help file is loaded with all the information that is essential.
Problem is, most people don't use it properly. I'd hate to think a 6MB
compressed (with no graphics) help file is totally lacking. Most people just
don't think to look at the base classes being inherited from I think.

But, this is getting too far off topic for the IBDI list.

What I wish everyone would keep in mind is this. If you are only wanting to
do simple stuff with InterBase it is simple to do simple things in IBO. Just
ignore the things that don't seem pertinent to what you are doing. Then, as
you gain familiarity let your understanding and feature usage naturally
expand as the need arises. You will find that instead of taking great pains
to give your application nicely integrated features that with IBO it is all
there just waiting to be tapped into.

FWIW,
