Abstract
In the built-in window (‘help’) that shows all the library functions the 300+ functions have been grouped according to their speciality. Some we have already described in detail in Chapter 8 but there are many others worth at least mentioning. Some groups such as Boolean and Boolean Hybrids, which refer to functions that test, are not detailed in this book since many of them would be expected to be available for any programming language (e.g. arithmetic functions). Here we describe briefly some useful groups of functions that are not always found in other programming languages.
