The ReadMe component sits on your project at design time
and uses Windows Notepad to Display & Edit notes associated
with the active project.

The name of the component is used as the file name and the
default name will be ReadMe1, ReadMe2, etc. 
Changing the name will in turn change the name of the text
file being referenced and a useful alternative to the 
default ReadMe name might be the name of the current project
so as their would be a *.TXT file with the same name as the
project.  This would be particularly appropriate where there
is more than one project per sub-directory.

Double click the component to open the named text file in the 
current directory.  Or Right Mouse Click and choose OPEN.

Please note one known short coming of this componet is that
using Delphi 1.0 on Win 95 it will open a new copy of the text
file with every Double Click instead of just Bring the already
opened copy to the top (ie. BringWindowToTop). This is becase
I do not know how to detect the current operating system apart
from the following statement, which perform the ELSE under Delphi 1.0
regardless of the OS being Win95.

{$IFDEF WIN32}
   WindowName:= TReadMe(Component).Name+'.txt'+' - Notepad'+#0;
{$ELSE}
   WindowName:= 'Notepad - '+UpperCase(TReadMe(Component).Name+'.TXT')+#0;
{$ENDIF}

Not a major problem really but can be solved by replacing the 5 lines
above with the following single line:
    WindowName:= TReadMe(Component).Name+'.txt'+' - Notepad'+#0;
