           Delphi IDE Project Manipulation (Menu) Experts

PREXPAND will open all units/forms of the current project, while PREXCLOS
will close all units/forms of the current project.  The first may be used
to get a good overview of your projects (but will take a lot of resources
when all forms are opened) while the second can be used to save resources
if you close all forms (like just before compiling).

To install the Experts copy the files to DELPHI\LIB (or somewhere else in
your Delphi Components Search Path) and select "Options|Install" from the
Delphi IDE.  Add the "PREXPAND.DCU" and "PREXCLOS.DCU" files and click on
OK to recompile the COMPLIB.DCL file. After installation you can find the
Expert in the Help menu of the Delphi IDE.

Read the article "How To Build Your Own Delphi Expert", and column "Under
Construction" in The Delphi Magazine for more information on how to write
your own Delphi Experts! (e-mail the editor Chris Frizelle at [70630,717]
for a free sample issue). The source code of these new experts will be in
a future column and a chapter of a new book on Delphi - The Revolutionary
Guide to Delphi (due early 1996).
