That is what I like about the halshow program. It shows the currently loaded components and all relevant pins, parameters, functions for the loaded components. I will look at this further. After doing some reading about Crapahalic I believe the intention was to do the same thing.
I think my first steps are to review all of the attempts out there. See which one has the best base and start from there. If none of them look to be a good starting point then I will start from scratch. I have renamed this thread so that it is more representative of the topic.
