Removed.

This sentence doesnt sound quite right to me either:

PureBasic has a good-sized command set (over 800 internal commands) enabling the PureBasic programmer to use the API commands of Windows, Linux or Mac OS directly as if they were native PureBasic commands, without the need to declare them (or any constants) first.

The built-in command set isnt just there to just enable the programmer to have access to the native API. Quite the contrary, they're there to encapsulate the native API to enable cross-platform development and to simplify it. However, if you need to, you CAN access the native API easily.

I proprose the minor rewording of the above sentence as follows:

PureBasic has an extensive command set (over 800 internal commands) encapsulating much of the native platform's API. However if needed, PureBasic enables the programmer to use the API commands of Windows, Linux or Mac OS directly as if they were native PureBasic commands, without the need to declare them (or any constants) first.

Comments?

Too verbose. Try this:

PureBasic has an extensive command set (over 800 internal commands) encompassing much of the operating system's API. The programmer can also call the API commands of Windows, Linux or Mac OS directly as if they were native PureBasic commands, without the need to declare them (or any constants) first.
