As the language evolves some functions might become obsolete, maybe just more sensibly renamed. This is the list of such functions: see in the manual for reasons/updates.

Call [OBSOLETE]	[OBSOLETE] apply a function to given arguments
Cast [OBSOLETE]	[OBSOLETE] type conversion
ColumnVectors [OBSOLETE]	[OBSOLETE] list of module elements
Comp [OBSOLETE]	[OBSOLETE] access a component
E_ [OBSOLETE]	[OBSOLETE] vector of the canonical basis
Function [OBSOLETE]	[OBSOLETE]
functions [OBSOLETE]	[OBSOLETE] replaced by describe
ID [OBSOLETE]	[OBSOLETE] renamed RingID
IsInSubalgebra [OBSOLETE]	[OBSOLETE] check if one polynomial is in a subalgebra
IsNumber [OBSOLETE]	[OBSOLETE] checks if the argument is a number
LinKerModP [OBSOLETE]	[OBSOLETE] find the kernel of a matrix mod p

Reset [OBSOLETE]	[OBSOLETE] reset panels and random number seed to defaults
ResetPanels [OBSOLETE]	[OBSOLETE] reset panels to their default values
RingEnv [OBSOLETE]	[OBSOLETE] name of the ring environment
