Those with the colored layout are the built in 
commands, functions and operators. Those that are 
black on grey are the custom statements and 
functions. A custom statement is just a procedure 
in one of the libraries. When you use a custom 
statement you are essentially doing a FarCall to 
that procedure. A custom function is basically an 
alias for some formula that was used to define 
it. For example

arraycontains(thearray,thetext,thesep)

is just another way of writing

arraysearch(thearray,thetext,1,thesep)>0

Arraycontains( is a custom function and will 
appear black on grey. Arraysearch( and the > 
operator are built in and will be colored.

In the Panorama Reference wizard, the 
documentation of a custom function will include 
the formula it represents. For custom statements 
you have the option of pressing command-1 or 
choosing View Source... from the Reference menu 
to see the code of the procedure you will be 
calling when you use that statement.
