You are probably right.
I had a need, and knew only 50% of the solution.

I have a book called "Delphi Programming Problem Solver" that is structured as
"I want to do ????", and a sample is presented. With a start, the monkey (me) can write "the Great American" solution. I remember seeing a similar book in VB. I guess these books are published examples of FAQ's.

I'll try to write up something and send it your way for addition to the FAQ's.
