Using the Lisp Explorer

Use the LispExplorer to display information about Lisp commands, variables, and functions defined in the application.

The LispExplorer allows the following:

  • Display a list of available Lisp functions
  • Display the code of a Lisp function
  • Load Lisp files in the application
  • Search for a text inside the code
  • Display Lisp commands, functions and variables defined in the application
  • Export the list of Lisp commands, functions and variables defined in the application
