Determine SPICE file set as instance cell view in hierarchy editor

Hi,

In the Virtuoso Hierarchy Editor, a user can right-click and select "Set Cell View->Specify SPICE Source file".  I have two questions related to this interface.

1. While traversing the hierarchy through SKILL calls, how can I detect that an instance has been set to use a SPICE file (note hdbIsAtStopPoint seems to return nil)?

2. Can I use SKILL to determine the name of the file?

Thank you.
