Hi,
 That's already been answered in another thread.
 Built-in functions and Special forms.
 What I am looking for is

1. Get name of all the functions. (defined with defun)
2. Find out all the 'built-in function' or 'special forms' it uses.

from 1 and 2 we have a table:
like:


defun frame-width (&optional frame) 
uses: cdr, assq, frame-parameters
defun set-border-color (color-name) 
uses: interactive, list, face-menu-read-color,
modify-frame-parameters,selected-frame, cons

etc..

Then it should go thro' my learned list of built-in and other
functions and special forms to match the above table to find the entry
for 'defun functions'.

This is to assist the progressive learning for  the command of 'what
is being learnt'.

Thanks,
Artist.
