Just have a look at the cbm.h header file. Quite a lot of the functions are
there. 

But as a general rule you should use kernal level function only if there is a
special reason for doing so. These functions are non portable and often on a
rather low abstraction level. So for example, instead of calling SCRORG, use
screensize() from conio.h. Instead of OPEN, use cbm_open() or even open(),
which is portable among most supported platforms.
