I assume ALL the terms for LCB are included there.
The problem (as ever with the Dictionary) is knowing the term I want to look up . . .

Richmond, I am afraid that the sample dictionary entry you chose is case of documentation error:richmond62 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2024 2:26 pmThe problem (as ever with the Dictionary) is knowing the term I want to look up . . .
The example for entry "AbsOperator" refers to "the trunc of"...
Kind regards

Quite possibly.
Although that does not help me with my conundrum.

Which is?

Richmond.
That is a problem with dictionaries in general. If you want to know how to spell "phlegm", you are going to have to already know something about the English language and then do some work.
Now you want to find a native LC element given only, say, a desire to find a command that solves some functionality you wish to implement. Same thing only worse; you are a "layer" below the example above.
I always recommend getting as close as you can, and then look at all the related terms. Those are invaluable, and help bridge the gap between the two "layers" of separation in the above.
