Caveats

The built-in help system includes not just commands, but other topics of interest such as object flag information and concepts.

Some built-in commands have been replaced by external software product packages. To verify whether or not a built-in command has been replaced with an external software product package, check the global command list on the wiki or in-game by leveraging the global command listing facility with the list parameter,  globals #list .
