I did not read through all the manual but it seems that uppercase are home commands, while lowercase are cas commands. Can it be?

edit1: another question. Is the code of a program somehow temporarily compiled? In other words, if I write FOR var1 FROM 1 TO SIZE(list) DO , is SIZE(list) always computed or is it computed once?

Yes, UPPERCASE is home or equivalent. Mixed case starting with Caps is system/app variables, lowercase is CAS.

Yes, it is compiled. But it will be direct without optomizations. Evaluated every time. 'list' might change. However unlike the 48 series type lists, they have a count so it doesn't need to iterate content and just returns the size value directly.
