Hello,
I saw a few seconds ago r49911 & r49912 added help button and onclick event, and event has
"OpenUrl('http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org.......');" this codes. I think much better way this link can be resource string. Maybe in future need change this address, then have to find all source in. Or this wiki pages can be downloadable and can use in local server. regards

Yes I think it is a good idea.
Alexey Torgashin has made many patches for help button handlers. Maybe Alexey can switch to resource string from now on.

Do you mean a variable or a resourcestring?

Oops right, the strings don't need translation to other languages. They should be const strings collected somewhere for easy update. Or what do you think?

Yes, a variable somewhere in IDEintf.
