Not many
I use Macsbug now, so... I've lost touch with the built in one...

"G Finder"... etc. Can't remember the memory display ones... hmm.

What ones do you remember?

The only ones I know are

G FINDER (to crash out of an app)
G SHUTDOWN (to crash out of an app when G FINDER doesn't work)

G SHUTDOWN doesn't actually shut the machine down, I dunno why it works, I just tried it one day and it did.

I thought the G meant "go to", I've had success w/ G and the first letters of another app. I still use it on my DP when USB dies.(I crash periodically, mostly my fault or Netscape-goat)
G ROM works sometimes to restart.
G FINDER, G FINDR and G FIN all do the same thing.
SM and RM are scan and read memory buffer or something.
