 Overview of Expand Library functions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 All Functions in the Expand Library guide are presented in a
 similar fashion, grouped by functionality into blocks,
 such as "High Level" MOUSE functions or 1-2-3 related functions.

 The functions have not been ordered alphabetically on
 purpose, as it is probably clearer to find out the relating
 functions this way. The 'Functionality Blocks' are ordered in
 random order.

 As the number of Functions was growing, I thought it would be
 easier to put every "Block" of functions in a list, under the
 main list of functions. I hope the documentation is clearer this
 way. Browsing through a very long list get's difficult and unclear.
 Every block is preceded by a Small "Overview", containing some
 information about the block of functions.

 A complete alfabetical List is included for easy reference, when you
 want to look for a function by name. The list contains all functions,
 the description merely consists of a "See Also" reference to the
 function's description, not the function itself. Can be useful when
 one wants to look for a function by name, or for a complete overview
 of the Expand Library functions. Let's hope it's a good addition.

 Also note the annotation of New, Changed and Corrected functions.

 Every function is described in a similar fashion, beginning
 by some general comments about the function's purpose and/or
 typical usage. Sometimes there's also some technical information.
 After that, the Clipper syntax is presented followed by a description
 of arguments and/or return values. Finally there will generally be a
 small part of Clipper code that demonstrates the function's typical
 usage. "See Also" references can often be found.

 Generally a group of function descriptions is headed by some
 general comments about the functions, do read that information,
 as it may contain valuable/important information about the functions
 in the list.

 Typical usage of most functions is well illustrated in the XPDEMO program.
 Refer to those when it is not clear to find out how to use a function of
 the Library. Some functions are quite specialized, where it is difficult
 to explain it's usage without a complete Demo.
