log10


             log10(x)  
 
     returns the base 10 logarithm of its argument (inverse of 10^x).

log1p


             log1p(x)  
 
     return log(1+X) accurate to machine precision (even for X<<1)  
     from Goldberg, ACM Computing Surveys, Vol 23, No 1, March 1991,  
       apparently originally from HP-15C Advanced Functions Handbook

lsdir


             files = lsdir(directory_name)  
          or files = lsdir(directory_name, subdirs)  
 
     List DIRECTORY_NAME.  The return value FILES is an array of  
     strings or nil; the order of the filenames is unspecified;  
     it does not contain "." or ".."; it does not contain the  
     names of subdirectories.  If SUBDIRS is given and is a simple  
     variable name, it is set to a list of subdirecotry names (or  
     nil if there are no subdirectories).  
     If DIRECTORY_NAME does not exist, the return value is the  
     integer 0 rather than nil.
