COMPONENT INSTALLATION:

Begin by installing the component into the Delphi VCL by following the
instructions in the Delphi manual.  The file that needs to be installed 
is LEDLP__R.DCU or LEDLP__R.PAS.  If you want to change the tab that 
the LEdit component is installed to, then change the registration 
in the LEDLP_R.PAS file and install it.  Once this is done, you need 
to merge the Help Index into the Delphi help system so that you can 
get context-sensitive help while developing with the component. All 
of the following files must be placed into the same directory:

  LEDLP.DCU        
  LEDLP__A.DFM
  LEDLP__A.DCU
  LEDLP__R.DCR
  LEDLP__R.PAS
  LEDLP__R.DCU

The LEDIT.DLL file must either be in this same directory or must be
in the WINDOWS or WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.


MERGE THE HELP INDEX INTO DELPHI HELP:

You need to merge the keyword file into the master Help index for
Delphi.  To merge your keyword file into the Delphi master Help index:

1.  Make sure you have placed your keyword (.KWF) file, along with the
    compiled Help (.HLP) file, in the directory that contains your 
    components or the DELPHI\BIN directory.
2.  Run the HELPINST application.  HELPINST is a Windows application 
    installed with Delphi.

When HELPINST finishes, the Delphi master help index (.HDX) file
includes the keywords for the component's Help screens. For more
information on how to install the keyword file, see your documentation
that was supplied with Delphi.



Once this is complete, the component is ready to be used in your
applications.
