st: obtaining entire contents of a value label

[Phil Schumm <pschumm@uchicago.edu>]

Does anyone know if it's possible to obtain the entire contents of a 
value label, say with something like a macro extended function?  What 
I'd like to do is to step through the entire mapping 
programmatically, and thus actually, even just obtaining the list of 
integers mapped to labels (i.e., a sort of -levels- command for value 
labels) would also work, since I could then use the label macro 
extended function to obtain the label for each integer.

I've looked at the other commands that operate on value labels, but 
these (e.g., -labelbook- or -numlabel-) appear to use -uselabel-, 
which itself uses -label save- to create a file containing the 
mapping(s) and then parses this file.  I can do this too, but in 
cases where I just want a single mapping, it seems like a lot of work 
to create a file and then read it.

If I am overlooking something obvious here, I apologize.
