    This RFE is being closed because of age. We recognize this as an important function - but we cannot deliver this in the next year. Raise a new RFE to put this back on the development agenda.
    An alternative but verbose solution would be to get a user to run after turning debugging on (DBG) and then use PBT command to view the trace which should list the options.
