+@defun call-with-tmpnam proc
+
+
+@defunx call-with-tmpnam proc k
+Calls @var{proc} with @var{k} arguments, strings returned by successive
+calls to @code{tmpnam}. If @var{proc} returns, then any files named by the
+arguments to @var{proc} are deleted automatically and the value(s) yielded
+by the @var{proc} is(are) returned. @var{k} may be ommited, in which case
+it defaults to @code{1}.
+@end defun
+
+@defun user-email-address
+
+@code{user-email-address} returns a string of the form @samp{username@r{@@}hostname}. If
+this e-mail address cannot be obtained, #f is returned.
+@end defun
+
+@defun current-directory
+
+@code{current-directory} returns a string containing the absolute file name representing
+the current working directory. If this string cannot be obtained,
+#f is returned.
+
+If @code{current-directory} cannot be supported by the platform, the value of @code{current-directory} is
+#f.
+@end defun
+
+@defun make-directory name
+
+Creates a sub-directory @var{name} of the current-directory. If successful,
+@code{make-directory} returns #t; otherwise #f.
+@end defun
+
+@defun null-directory? file-name
+
+Returns #t if changing directory to @var{file-name} makes the current working
+directory the same as it is before changing directory; otherwise
+returns #f.
+@end defun
+
+@defun absolute-path? file-name
+
+Returns #t if @var{file-name} is a fully specified pathname (does not depend on
+the current working directory); otherwise returns #f.
+@end defun
+
+@defun glob-pattern? str
+Returns #t if the string @var{str} contains characters used for
+specifying glob patterns, namely @samp{*}, @samp{?}, or @samp{[}.
+@end defun
+
+@defun parse-ftp-address uri
+
+Returns a list of the decoded FTP @var{uri}; or #f if indecipherable. FTP
+@dfn{Uniform Resource Locator}, @dfn{ange-ftp}, and @dfn{getit}
+@cindex Uniform Resource Locator
+@cindex ange-ftp
+@cindex getit
+formats are handled. The returned list has four elements which are
+strings or #f:
+
+@enumerate 0
+@item
+username
+@item
+password
+@item
+remote-site
+@item
+remote-directory
+@end enumerate
+@end defun
+
+@defun ftp-upload paths user password remote-site remote-dir
+
+@var{password} must be a non-empty string or #f. @var{paths} must be a non-empty list
+of pathnames or Glob patterns (@pxref{Filenames}) matching files to
+transfer.
+
+@code{ftp-upload} puts the files specified by @var{paths} into the @var{remote-dir} directory of FTP @var{remote-site}
+using name @var{user} with (optional) @var{password}.
+
+If @var{password} is #f and @var{user} is not @samp{ftp} or @samp{anonymous}, then @var{user} is
+ignored; FTP takes the username and password from the @file{.netrc}
+or equivalent file.
+@end defun
+
+@defun path->uri path
+
+Returns a URI-string for @var{path} on the local host.
+@end defun
+
+@defun browse-url-netscape url
+
+If a @samp{netscape} browser is running, @code{browse-url-netscape} causes the browser to
+display the page specified by string @var{url} and returns #t.
+
+If the browser is not running, @code{browse-url-netscape} runs @samp{netscape} with the
+argument @var{url}. If the browser starts as a background job, @code{browse-url-netscape} returns
+#t immediately; if the browser starts as a foreground job, then @code{browse-url-netscape}
+returns #t when the browser exits; otherwise it returns #f.
