They are tricky.

Okay Mattias and all, I have just two days ago got my Linux Ubuntu 10.04 LTS system stable with all the updates and latest Lazarus.

Tested it with a blank project and it works great !!! :-)))

How do I install the help for fpc. What is the trick???

I printed out Lazarus IDE Tools (16 pages) and Lazarus Tutorial (16 pages) but I cannot find it.

Can I please suggest that when a user right clicks to open the context menu that a menu option 'Look up Help' be added (defaulting to local help if present, then internet help if not)
