Toolkit routines use the new format and call procedures by name only. Functions
are called by preceding the function name with "FN" (3.07 and above users may
substitute the "@" symbol for "FN", if desired).

        Comments (REMarks)

We've heavily commented the Toolkit routines, to make them easier to read and
understand. Feel free to remove any or all comments, by deleting any line that
begins with an apostrophe ('). You may also delete Internal comments (text that
follows a lone exclamation point) as desired.

        If you intend to compile your program, you should remember that
comments are ignored by the GFA BASIC compiler and thus do not add additional
program overhead. We encourage you to comment your programs freely.

»   Routine Descriptions

Each of the Toolkit routines are described in the following format:

        ROUTINE NUMBER: the number in the upper-left hand corner of the page
        specifies the Toolkit number assigned to each routine.

        COMPATIBILITY: the number in the upper-right hand corner of a page
        specifies the routine's compatibility (as currently written) with
        earlier versions of GFA BASIC.

        BRIEF: very briefly explains what function the routine performs.

        FILE: the filename of the routine as stored on the Toolkit diskette.

        CALL: describes how to call the routine from within your GFA BASIC
        program.
