This huge help file is enough for you and other IBO experts, but is
it enough for beginners?

Have a look at the Delphi base help file. There are examples in the
most cases, only a few lines of code, but it helps a lot. I think, this
extention of the documentation could increase acceptance (and
promotion) of IBO enormous. Just my opinion.
