I just want to congratulate you on this answer, Azret.

There's nothing like trying something out yourself and discovering what
happens..  :-)

Re:Info about TStringList.Delete


IMPORTANT POINT TO BE MADE :)Sorry, just had to jump in here. Absolutely
CLASSIC!!! Always SEE what the REAL results are before asking. Because as a
matter of fact just because a function/method is documented to do ONE
THING, sometimes they actually DO ANOTHER :) These are call bugs, or better
yet, UN-DOCUMENTED FEATURES!!!! So, by testing for yourself, you can find
all the gotchas before releasing a product to the public. So, TRUST that
the docs are correct and then test to make sure, but DO NOT TAKE FOR
GRANTED that the docs are gospel.
