In view of using Lazarus in an introductory programming course, I have a couple of questions:

(1) Can you install help files locally, so that help is available without internet access? If so, how? I couldn't find it quickly in the wiki.

(2) What would it take to extend the IDE help to provide help on (Free)Pascal things? I did read a page about using the Kylix help files with Lazarus, but apparently this is not something that can be integrated more conveniently. Would it be reasonable to hire a student to do this?

(3) The debug window to evaluate/modify expressions/variables seems to have some limitations. I would like to have some confirmation that this is "on purpose" and not a bug for 0.9.24:

(3a) The expression syntax is rather restrictive, e.g. 1+2 evaluates fine, but 1 + 2 (i.e. with spaces) does not. Some operators (notably div and mod) are not known. Can and will this be extended?

(3b) The modify facility does not it planned
to be make this work?

Thanks for your feedback,

Tom
