Hey Jimmy and Ken,
I feel the same way about the helpfile...I used to think it was unclear or needed some English translation polishing and over time I realized that it is already is extremely clear once you are "ready" for the Jedi knowledge within. I love typing things into the helpfield at the top of the QM panel and seeing all the various references dropping down.

One of the things I would like to better understand is the relationship between QM functions, WIndows API functinos and the MSDN library. Gintaras sometimes refers to that as a resource to solve problems as a way to extend QM.

In the helpfile for the file strings above, it says

Tips

There are many easy to use Windows API functions that can be used to work with paths and URLs. For example, PathFindExtension finds file extension. They are documented in the MSDN Library.

and elsewhere in the Helpfile

MSDN Library (Windows API function reference)
In QM can be used Windows API functions and interfaces. They are documented in the MSDN Library on the Internet. The library can be browsed online, or downloaded. For example, you can download Windows API documentation as part of Platform SDK.

and much more in the help file called Declarations: Dll functions, types, COM classes, typelib, etc..

To understand these would be taking things to a much higher level. As an example, what Gintaras helped me to do with Sqlite is amazing.....
