This command does not have a default key assignment. You can either
assign a key to the command using the Assign Key command or issue the
command using Execute Editor Command.
Description
This command shows all currently defined macros and their corresponding
names (key assignments). When you execute the command, HP EDIT suspends
the current editing session and displays a screen that shows the macros.
This command also shows whether a macro is preemptive or not. Preemptive
macros preempt the function of the same key assigned to an HP EDIT
command. Non-preemptive macros show = following the macro name;
preemptive macros show : following the macro name.
If there are no currently defined macros, HP EDIT displays No macros have
been defined on the message line. This message appears if:
* The EDCONFIG file does not contain any macros
* You have not read in a file containing any macros using the Load
Config File command
* You have not defined any macros during the current session
