BDS 2006 Help: Missing examples? :(

Hi,
The BCB6 Help was *full* of small examples for most
of the classes' methods.
I myself have found such examples very useful when I first
started learing the VCL.
Now it seems those examples are missing (or I cannot
find them).

So far I give the BDS 2006 help system the thumbs down.

Same here. My biggest problem is that it brings in the help for Visual

Studio in preference to its own.

Is there a way to get rid of all of the "unwanted" help references?

Compare the help for TBrushStyle in BCB6 and BCB2006. BCB6 wins by a clear
margin. Not only is the example missing but where is the description of what
the enum contains?

I concur. We really need to get these documentation issues into QC.

I concur. We really need to get these documentation issues into QC.
And what is worse: creators and destructors are only listed in Delphi,

never in C++, so you must read Delphi documentation to look at which
constructors are available for a VCL class.
Thumbs really reallly down
