<<Borland Delphi>>> Hello to the True Believers...

Here is a little program I assembled in Borland Delphi for Win32 some years ago.
I think it might have been D4 or D5, but not sure. So, when the new Delphi 2005
became available for personal use on a recent PC Mag. cover disk, so I thought I'd
update this useful (to me) program.

Let me say I do not know anything about programming! The only thing I can
do is drop a button on a Form and fire the 'on click' event by typing the code: Close;

No, this code originally came from a PC Mag. with the message pop-up addition I
obtained from all the FREE Delphi code floating around the Net.

Would not compile with the original message pop-up::..

 procedure TMainForm.SpeedButton1_helpClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
   Application.messagebox(
'1. You can click any Wav sound to play'+#10+
''+#10+
'2. You can click a sound to play, then use the '+#10+
'Keyboard = UP = and = DOWN = Arrows to move '+#10+
'up and down - playing sounds'+#10+
''+#10+
'3. Use the left Folder box to click and find new '+#10+
'Folders with Wav Sound Files in them'+#10+
'____________________'+#10+
''+#10+
'WavEar - Freeware',
mb_Ok+mb_IconAsterisk);
end;

Anyway, I found some other code and whacked it in.

*All I did was the updated GUI; as always. I get bits of free code. Made lots of
freeware programs that I used to have on my Furball Cannery and
Arabica websites. And I can't code!!!! And they work!!!! Thanks NET all!
