That's not true... If you browse the docs, you'll find examples for 
everything
and every use... 

But the basics of the is and the keywords is simple...

is or is not (see operators in the docs) are best used for conditinos.

if a is b or a is not c then

The keyword "the" is often optional

put rect of fld 1 into thisrect or put the rect of... are the same.


Where the keyword the is required is for "functions".

Then you have either the choice of using 

the number of lines in fld 1

 or

number(lines in fld 1)

There is an entry for the keyword the. I thought it was pretty clear... 
Although the first line is quite ambiguous as to what requires brackets ;)

cheers
