 ## Inbuilt library Functions
 You should also avoid defining (with a SUB or FUNCTION command) routines with the following names, as they are available in the internal library for your use, though you are almost certainly going to need to use #include before using them. Note that some Sinclair Basic words are listed here. Some Freebasic commands are also available through #include options for compatibility with freebasic.
