==Description==
The DISPLAY DICTIONARY command displays the currently active dictionary. DISPLAY commands differ from LIST commands in that they pause every 17 lines until a key is pressed.  You can cancel any further output at this point by pressing the [ABANDON] key.  Where the output is sent to a file or printer, the pause is disabled.
