2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /ALL
Lists all display definitions.
3 – Description
The SHOW DISPLAY command lists all displays according to their order in the display list. The most hidden display is listed first, and the display that is on top of the display pasteboard is listed last. For each display, the SHOW DISPLAY command lists its name, maximum size, screen window, and display kind (including any debug command list). It also identifies whether the display is removed from the pasteboard or is dynamic (a dynamic display automatically adjusts its window dimensions if the screen size is changed with the SET TERMINAL command).

DBG> SHOW DISPLAY display SRC at H1, size = 64, dynamic kind = SOURCE (EXAMINE/SOURCE .%SOURCE_SCOPE\%PC) display INST at H1, size = 64, removed, dynamic kind = INSTRUCTION (EXAMINE/INSTRUCTION .0\%PC) display REG at RH1, size = 64, removed, dynamic, kind = REGISTER display OUT at S45, size = 100, dynamic, kind = OUTPUT display EXSUM at Q3, size = 64, dynamic, kind = DO (EXAMINE SUM) display PROMPT at S6, size = 64, dynamic, kind = PROGRAM DBG> The SHOW DISPLAY command lists all displays currently defined. In this example, they include the five predefined displays (SRC, INST, REG, OUT, and PROMPT), and the user-defined DO display EXSUM. Displays INST and REG are removed from the display pasteboard: the DISPLAY command must be used to display them on the screen.
