My comment was about the procedure TextModels.dir.New. The
"Select; Right-click->Documentation" method takes one to
TextModels.dir, not to the .New method. Since they are quite
close this is not a serious problem here, but even so I usually
look by scrolling down which is the wrong way!

Ok, yes. But my comments were motivated by a real inconvenience.
Maybe someone has a useful solution ...

A typical code fragment for me might be:

VAR
  p : LibPlotters.Plotter;
BEGIN
  p := LibPlotters.dir.NewPlotter (...
  ...
  (Many lines, SO I can't see the declaration on screen)
  ...
  p.Xaxis (...);


I have forgotten the arguments for Xaxis (maybe I've
even forgotten how to spell Xaxis). I wan't quick access
to the Docu (or maybe just the interface). If p.Xaxis
was a static procedure (eg LibPlotters.Xaxis) that would
be easy. But since it is a type bound procedure I have to
search myself.
