Description

There are some typos and errors in the Help for TSysLocale, TSystemTime, TSysCharSet. See Steps.

Steps to Reproduce:

The page ms-help://borland.bds4/bds4win32api_win32/html/DelphiWin32_SysUtilsTSysLocaleType.htm says, "[Delphi] type TSysLocale = record end;". The definition of the record is missing.

The page also says, "FarEast indicates whether the locale represents an Asian locale. MiddleEast indicates whether the local [sic] represents a Middle Eastern locale." This is not true.

Actually, FarEast is "TRUE or nonzero if User32.dll supports DBCS; FALSE or zero otherwise. Windows Me/98/95: TRUE or nonzero if the double-byte character-set (DBCS) version of User.exe is installed; FALSE or zero otherwise." (according to ms-help://borland.bds4/sysinfo/base/getsystemmetrics.htm). I think MiddleEast is "TRUE if the system is enabled for Hebrew and Arabic languages.", although I'm not sure why SysUtils.pas checks the value of Win32Platform rather than just always calling GetSystemMetrics.

The page ms-help://borland.bds4/bds4win32api_win32/html/DelphiWin32_WindowsTSystemTimeType.htm says, "[Delphi] type TSystemTime = record end;". The definition of the record is missing.

The page ms-help://borland.bds4/bds4win32api_win32/html/DelphiWin32_SysUtilsTSysCharSetType.htm says, "[Delphi] type TSysCharSet = set of (Char;". The left parenthesis should be deleted.
