There is a Delphi 7 plugin from DelphiDabbler which shows the Recording toolbar. It simply sets Visible=True for the following component:
EditWindow_0: TEditWindow
[6] Panel1: TPanel
> [2] Panel2: TPanel
> [1] RecordToolBar: TToolBar

This toolbar is not available in Delphi 6 and is visible by default in newer versions.
