Alexandre,

In the context of this reference "component" means basically: Is this object
willing to handle events or step messages? However, its use is a little
vague right now since in fact any of the TFrame objects can aquire any of these
capabilities dynamically and therefore become a component at any time.

Cheers,
  - Andreas
