Is there a function that returns a list of messages an object responds to?

[#1]

Ex.:

nt = new table();

nt << messages;

=> { get column names, etc }

The Scripting Index can show you all of the messages that can be sent to an object, such as a Data Table

[#3]

The thing with the Scripting Index is, I feel like I’ve noticed missing messages as well as deprecated ones.

Other languages do implement this, btw. Ruby has it.

Thanks for your reply; I’ll accept it as a solution.

You should add your idea to the JMP Wish List

You can also use

nt=new table();
show properties(nt);

This will show (most?) of the messages the object will accept, but doesn't show the full syntax required for each message.
