Cheers, Patrick. Would it also be possible to have a list of all 
functions, even if not written up in full? I understand there are 
practical limits to the usefulness of some functions, and it's the 
"obviously" useful ones that I'm after, and I suspect will be similarly 
useful for others.

Let me know if I can assist.
