I'm not sure if they are deprecated or not... I don't think they are perhaps just obsolete. I was just as lost with linksp and other commands when I first started. In the trunk (2.3) there is only 4 linksp's left to fix. Now that you reminded me :). and yes I need to add the description for them in the basic hal section somewhere because you will find them in most older configurations and some if not most of the sample configurations.
