Adding in "control-by-control" right-click popup menu driven HELP to each & every control a user can use on the screenshot's form shown below:
Thus - when you right-mouseclick on ANY of the user controls on the main screen form shown above?
They each have a "HELP" popup menu, which then summons a detailed explanation of what it does, via messageboxes (formatted ones) + how & when to use each control & why...
(Which adds better & FAR MORE DETAILED help as to what each control's function is, for users... Much better than just mere 'tooltips' popups, by far).

Almost TOTALLY done now, very VERY close...
* ... & then, that FTP code I mention above goes into effect, + the FTP server setup for the "Achilles Shield" type system that I have an idea for!
(I.E.-> Which yields the ability for users to NOT have to build their own MASSIVE all-encompassing HOSTS file for speed + security online (instead - they can elect to simply ftp transfer down one that is built by myself for them, 12mb in size, takes 4 minutes approximately on a DSL connection (low speed type) &, if I "LZCompress" it, via Win32 API code (decent compression system, built into Windows itself, about 1/2 as good as WinRar @ "MAX COMPRESSION" & 3/4 as good as WinZip @ "MAX COMPRESSION") & then, uncompress it for install? Should only take 2 minutes to download)
... & then, the program (once new custom HOSTS is downloaded) installs it for them too, 'automagically', protecting them - though, they WILL have this tool to do so as well, manually as I do, IF they wish, also!
(That will be the LAST step to implement (I have the code embedded already for FTP download though, from another app (full FTP system) I wrote, years ago... &, once I removed that app's SPECIFIC code, while embedding its engine into THIS program))
** AND - just as I had to for my PING code? Well, so far??
It tests + works (100% perfect too)

P.S.=> Next stuff is the "little things that mean a lot", such as a Help menu, About submenu, even a "system information" submenu there etc. et al
... + the "pretty-fy'ing" stage as I call it!
(That is when/where I use some 3rd party VCL that are very, VERY light, for "some special effects" - animated trayicon is one I like (this I can do manually, but some of these 3rd party ones do a lot more than std. trayicon + popup menu combinations can do (VCL = addons for Delphi, like ActiveX controls/.OCX are for Visual Basic/Visual C++, EXCEPT, these build in statically RIGHT INTO the .exe you create, & literally, become PART of it, rather than being an extra lib/dll/ocx etc. you have to distribute & worry about... less moving parts (I think this is better than having to distribute extra files (big into 'single .exe/1 moving part/monolithic executable design here is why))))... apk
