  • Processes - Run operating system commands or other programs.
  • Interface - Get strings, integers, reals, and lists from the user. Display Windows message boxes, progress meters, and splash screens.
  • Strings - Tokenize strings, extract characters, find characters, insert, remove, and replace characters, and trim characters.
