  16. Incremental changes to the language...
  17.  
  18. For example, sets were introduced in the 2nd edition (csets were in the
  19. 1st ed.), as was the specification for variable number of parameters
  20. e.g. procedure foo(a,b[]), and some additional builtin functions that
  21. dealt with some system specific operations (like getch, kbhit, etc.). 
  22. The 3rd edition introduced mostly the graphics builtins and the
  23. preprocessor.
