While I'll agree they prologs are interesting to look at, I'm not sure we view them as official documentation, and they certainly describe many things that are not officially programming interfaces, with all that implies for you (and potentially your program or system) if you try to use them. So anyone using the prologs -should- (in my opinion) be making sure that what they're using is also described in the books or they're taking some risks. Though in this case I see that the prolog does indicate that USE2GTO32G is not a programming interface, so one could get that info from a careful prolog reading, too, as long as one read -all- of the prolog and not just the keyword descriptions.
