In the version column it means that it was a hidden function in that
version. In the datatype column it means that something special is coming
back from the function call. This could be multiple types of datatypes
based on an attribute (like REFind returning a numeric or a structure),
datatypes that are dependant on other things (like LSDateFormat returning a
dateformat that's legal based on some other location), or even some strange
stuff like Javacast.
The notes that go to each function was supposed to be in the functions book
I have shelved at the moment. I was talking to MM and others about backing
so I could just write stuff for CF and the community but it all fell apart.
My need to support my family stops me from writing a book for myself
(though I am writing a few chapters in other books but for pay). We'll see
what the future holds on all this but for now you've got the functions list.
