When I try to use INSERT like this Insert(charactger,string,index) I get Error: Wrong amount of parameters specified.

Try
system.insert(..)
it's a mistake I often get under Delphi, since other objects also often have a insert method; so if you use insert in the object's method that one will be used, instead of the system unit's insert for strings.

When I try to use INSERT like this

Error: Wrong amount of parameters specified.

My uses clases is:

{$mode objfpc}

uses
Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs,

  ComCtrls, StdCtrls, ExtCtrls;

Any thoughts? It must be looking at the wrong function in something I am using when it's compiling. Any help would be appreciated.
