Type	Parameter
Syntax	{$DESCRIPTION 'text'}
Scope	Global

Remarks

The $D directive inserts the text you specify into the module description entry in the header of an executable, DLL, or package. Traditionally the text is a name, version number, and copyright notice, but you may specify any text of your choosing. For example:

{$D 'My Application version 12.5'}

The string can't be longer than 256 bytes. The description is usually not visible to end-users. To mark your executable files with descriptive text, version, and copyright information for the benefit of end-users, use version info resources.

Note: The text description must be included in quotes.
