RE: Determining what parameters exist for an item

Gentlemen,

Thanks for all your replies.  I had no idea such a simple request would stir up

Thank you.

No, but I offer that putting this FUNCTION in the docs (snippets?) — “If you 
want to see all properties…”, etc. — would be a wonderful idea.

Do you have any reason to believe it wouldn’t work with any other grob(s)?

Many thanks,
