Is there a way to display the SKILL functions being invoked similar to an excel macro?

Hi Guys,

 I find that the hardest part in programming with SKILL is to know the name of the function that you need to call.  Is there a way to display the underlying function being called when the user performs a certain action interactively?  I'm picturing something similar to the way Microsoft Excel Macros work.

 for example, if you don't remember how to create a new cell view.  You can click on the new cellview button in the library manager and the icfb would show the underlying function like this:

deNewCellView("test_lib" "top" "schematic" "schematic" nil)

may be I'm being too optimistic, but if this exists it would be really helpful to know about it.

 thanks in advance for your help,

Peter
