Instead of a dedicated section for old commands - maybe the inclusion of the deprecated command(s) and formatting of it(them) where appropriate in the sections of the new 'preferred' commands/operations? Or would it be easier from the standpoint of actually editing and maintaining the manual to make a dedicated section like Donnie suggests?

As a newbie to EMC you look at other files and they use "linksp" all thou the file but the manual never gives a explanation of "linksp". If you search thru the manual it uses "linksp" several times in examples. So it kind of like stepping into a mud puddle the more you move around the muddier the puddle gets. The link above is for the new commands the fact there are new commands and still working old commands that are not explain added to the mud. If you look in section 5.4.3 of the hal manual it list command that can be use in hal but does not list "net". I think adding a section to the link above that shows old but still useable commands would be helpful. Then add the whole thing to the hal manual would great.
