This is a rant, nothing more.
Delphi should be shot in the head if it does this to you!!!
All computers have a "shift" key and it is used quite often. When you submit
your reports in school you have to use that key or else you stand a good chance
of getting an "F". Yet, the designers of this tool called Delphi decided that
they will skip the "shift" key functionality all together (perhaps they expect
all users to be oracles). Those designer, wise man, decided that the "shift" key
is just bullocks, put on your keyboard by some brain dead nitwit, right?
Probably their decision has something to do with Blaise.

Tony,
with the utter most consideration and respect for you; please go to something
sensible, like C++ ...

Best regards,
