'define' - Scheme, Shen, others; 'defn' - Clojure; 'fn'; 'lambda' - are all just syntax to get used to in any language you learn. The online documentation, rosettacode.org examples, or the two reference books for PicoLisp should help get you started.

I think they were referring to the fact that 'de' isn't much of a shorthand for 'def' and that 'prin' isn't much of a shorthand for 'print'.

Is it allowing you to use just the first few letters of a function's or macro's name?
