HAL is designed to be very "discoverable".  That means you can easily 
find out what pins exist for yourself, rather than asking questions on 
mailing lists and waiting for people to tell you the answers.

Comment out the line that is causing the problem (put a # in front of 
it) and then start EMC.

Then open another shell (terminal window), and run "halcmd show pin"
You will get a long list showing all the pins in your running EMC.
You can scroll up in the list to find whatever you want (it is in 
alphabetical order).  You can shorten the list by providing a partial 
name:  "halcmd show pin mo" will show only pins beginning with "mo",
which includes all the motion ones.

"show sig" can be used the same way, as can "show param".  It is an 
interactive system - interact with it!
