There is, just not in the new versions. They removed all information about
host objects and concentrated on the language instead.

Look at version 1.3. It might also be worth while looking at the
information provided in the group's FAQ notes. This describes using
function references with them.

Those functions are not javascript or jscript,
but part of the OS platform.

Just like: document.write(), etc.

Click "Gecko DOM Reference" to get to (among other things):

Aahaa! so they are window object's methods and are in DOM. I thought
them to be part of the language. Thank you all very much.

As written before, they *were* part of the JavaScript core language
until version 1.3.

Thank you all very much.

You're welcome.
