# $EPIC: getset,v 1.5 2003/07/05 06:34:00 jnelson Exp $
Synopsis:
$getset(<set name>)
Technical:
* If the <set name> argument is omitted the empty string is returned.
* If the set variable <set name> does not exist, the empty string
is returned.
* This function returns the value that would be returned by the "set
value" $<set name>.
Practical:
The built in set values ($DISPLAY, $INSERT_MODE, $DISPLAY_ANSI) can be
overridden by user variables (eg, /assign DISPLAY testing). If you need
to get the value of the underlying /SET value and not be thwarted by an
assign alias, you can call this function to get the /SET's value.
Example:
$builtin_expando(DISPLAY) returns the value of /SET DISPLAY
$builtin_expando(DEBUG) returns the value of /SET DEBUG
History:
This function first appeared in EPIC4pre2.400.
Returns:
The value of the set variable $<set name>
