If you go to /openprom/client-interface or something like this (I'm away
from my OF machines at the moment), you can list these commands with
words. These are the methods of this package.

AFAIR yes, but they won't tell you much. Very often they are short
wrappers around a known Forth word only playing with the stack to modify
the order of parameters and change the format of strings.
