Drive() Not a Standard Toolset in EasyC?

I was reading the WPI Documentation, bty...nice piece of work...
http://users.wpi.edu/~bamiller/WPILib/WPILib.pdf

anyway, I noticed that WPI has some functions that are interesting, like Drive();

Drive looks like it supports some deadband handling unlike SetPWM built into EasyC toolset. Also the changelog of WPI indicates it might help with some PID controls, which we are attempting in EasyC with encoders...

My question is, I don't see Drive() in the standard tool set, however I think we could call this function by doing a User Code Toolset, then typing Drive()

Haven't tried it yet.

I also wondered and saw in your Tutorials like Tutorial 7, that Drive () and Motor () function are listed. Do we just need to recode this in our project as you've provided in Tutorial 7 or is that already part of the WPI library and we can call the function by doing a User Code and typing Drive () to call the function?

Other functions not found in the EasyC toolset include:
Drive()
Motor()
Motors()

Would you happen to have a glossary of function in the WPI library? We don't want to miss anything that can be useful.

Thanks!
