Delphi

Yeah, I wanted to make something for the platform and wanted to see the source for the menu to get inspiration, when captain obvious shot me with a hand gun and I realized I didn't know Delphi commands. I couldn't find anything in the library catalog, and I couldn't find anything on the internet other than an online manual for Delphi 4. I realized that John would know this, but he doesn't regularly post here. So here is my question:
Does anybody got a good online manual of Delphi (Link Please) and a link to a free compiler?
I wonder how many questions I post in the off-topic forum...
Edit: Does anyone know of a good editor that supports delphi? Notepad++ doesn't work.

Turbo Delphi

Turbo Delphi is the free compiler from CodeGear(?), but Lazarus compiles some Pascal as well and is open source.

I know about pascal

I read that Delphi is a object-oriented hybrid. I'll check out Turbo Delphi, maybe use PAC on it, but I still don't know how to do Delphi.

As said: use the Turbo Delphi Compiler of CodeGear. It's free but you have to register to use it. As far as I remember Lazarus is able to compile "some" Delphi code but imho your best bet is Turbo Delphi of CodeGear.
An online tutorial can be found here and here

Darn,

I can't seem to find a free editor for it (Notepad++ doesn't work).

And what doesnt work about Notepad++? I just opened up a .pas file with no issues, syntax highlighting worked correctly too.

oh...

I was reading main.dcu.
Now all I have to do is figure out what part of the code does the app searching...
