------------------------------------------------------------
     SYNTAX: APPEND # filenumber

             to writing; filenumber <= 0 is ignored.
------------------------------------------------------------
     SYNTAX: BACKSPACE # X
DESCRIPTION: Points the file to the previous item.
------------------------------------------------------------
     SYNTAX: BYE
DESCRIPTION: Exits to the operating system.
------------------------------------------------------------

             accessed by READ.
------------------------------------------------------------
     SYNTAX: DEF FNname[( arg [,...] )] = value

             functions require an equal sign.
------------------------------------------------------------
     SYNTAX: DIM [# filenum,] variable([ lower TO ] upper)
DESCRIPTION: Declares variables and specifies the
             dimensions of array variables.  For array
             variables, if the lower bound is not

  PARAMETER: X  is a number
DESCRIPTION: The arctangent of X in radians, i.e. the angle
             whose tangent is X, where -PI/2 < ATN(X) <
             PI/2.
------------------------------------------------------------
     SYNTAX: N  = CATALOG

  PARAMETER: X  is a number
DESCRIPTION: The sine of X, where X is in radians.
------------------------------------------------------------
     SYNTAX: S$ = SPC( X )

             the PRINT command.
------------------------------------------------------------
     SYNTAX: N  = SQR( X )
  PARAMETER: X  is a number, >= 0
DESCRIPTION: The non-negative square root of X;  X shall be
             non-negative.
------------------------------------------------------------
     SYNTAX: S$ = STR$( X )

             associated with X.
------------------------------------------------------------
     SYNTAX: S$ = TAB( X )
  PARAMETER: X  is a number
DESCRIPTION: The string required to advance to column X.

------------------------------------------------------------
     SYNTAX: N  = UNSAVE( A$ )
  PARAMETER: A$ is a string, LEN >= 1
DESCRIPTION: Removes the file named in A$.
------------------------------------------------------------
     SYNTAX: N  = VAL( A$ )
  PARAMETER: A$ is a string, LEN >= 1
DESCRIPTION: The value of the numeric-constant associated
             with A$, if the string associated with A$ is
             a numeric-constant.  Leading and trailing
             spaces in the string are ignored.  If the
             evaluation of the numeric-constant would
             result in a value which causes an underflow,
             then the value returned shall be zero.  For
             example, VAL( " 123.5 " ) = 123.5, VAL(
             "2.E-99" ) could be zero, and VAL( "MCMXVII"
             ) causes an exception.
