Also, the CEIL and FLOOR functions (which do appear in at least the latest
documentation) convert floats to integer-valued floats.

There a number of minor changes that haven't made it into the docs yet:

-	unary minus
NINT	nearest integer
LN	natural log (synonym for LOGE)
SQRT	square root (synonym for SQR)
PI	3.1415926...
D2R	conversion from degrees to radians (note trig functions take
	argument in radians)  degrees = radians * D2R
R2D	1/D2R
SQRT	square root (synonym for SQR)
