   IIRC TCollection is roughly Delphi's TList, which means it is a simple array   
   of pointers wrapped in a class. Not the best for scalability, but for you   
   that's less of a problem.   
      
   TCollection is part of Objects, thus the base RTL, and not TV btw.

   I'm gearing up to do some FV/TV work in the FPC ide. (letting a listbox   
   popup on an outline); so keep asking questions. I do have some TV books,   
   but the main one I use is Dutch.  (the TV reference guide of BP7 is   
   ultimately resource but more of a reference than a tutorial. The Dutch book   
   is better)
