All the semantic functions deal only with the English language and are of interest mostly for comparative linguists. They require the semantic database SENSE.DBF (plus SENSE.VAR) which must be located together with STAR32.EXE.
SENSE.DBF is a collection of about 7000 English headwords described in terms of their semantic "attributes" or "constituents" (all in all around 400). All the data was extracted from existing etymological computer databases. A record like (HEADWORD) require (V) (ITEMS) to want;to search;to be;able means that in several cases the meaning "require" was associated with semantic "primitives" "to want", "to search", "to be" and "able".
