You might like to print this page if you are unsure about adding components to Delphi.

Before you can use the TMFMHelp component, you must install it in your Delphi Component Library. Follow these steps to install TMFMHelp in Delphi 4.0:

1) Create a directory to hold the TMFMHelp component. Some people prefer to keep each component in a separate subdirectory. For instance, you might create a directory called:
C:\VCL\TMFMHelp

2) In Delphi, open the Tools | Environment Options and click the Library tab. Click the ellipses (...) button for the Library Path field. Enter C:\VCL\TMFMHelp and click the Add button. Click OK.

3) Copy the TMFMHelp distribution files to your new C:\VCL\TMFMHelp directory.

4) Copy the file C:\VCL\TMFMHelp\TMFM_RUN.BPL to your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM or \WINNT\SYSTEM32 directory.

5) In Delphi, open the Component | Install Packages and click the Add button. In the Add Design Package window, browse to the C:\VCL\TMFMHelp directory and select the TMFM_DES.BPL file. You should now see an entry on the Project Options window called TMFMHelp Component Design Package. Click OK.

You should have a TMFMHelp component on the Samples page of your component palette. Drop the TMFMHelp component on any form and have fun!
