Between 4.1b3 and 4.1b4, I removed 'findDeffunction' and
'addDeffunction', and combined them with findUserfunction and
addUserfunction, and named the routines findFunction and
addFunction. At the last minute, I realized I could break fewer
people's code by retaining the names 'addUserfunction' and
'findUserfunction' (since the args are of type Userfunction, ths seems
justified; -all- functions in jess are really Userfunctions). I
apparently missed this one case when updating the documentation;
thanks. find/addUserfnction are the universal routines.
