I have a very strange problem when compiling a little program from
inside lazarus. whenever I try to assign a name to a file using the
command "assign" I have an "wrong amount of parameters especified"
error.

I try to compile a programme like this on fpc (console) y worked.
There was no problem, but the same code inside lazarus gives the
error.

Here's the code.

---

procedure TForm1.Button4Click(Sender: TObject);

   Var
      F: file;

   begin
      Assign(F, 'pepe.txt');
   end;

---

what can it be happening?

Thanks.

The TForm class is derived from TPersistant, which has an assign
method. The compiler thinks you want to use that mehod.

To use the assign procedure to assign a file add the unit name where
it can be found.

System.Assign(F,'pepe.txt') will do the trick.
