What items are current?

The info_current() (S-Lang, Python help) routine lists those items that are current. For example,

# Python
  chips> print info_current()
  Window [win1]
    Frame [frm1]
      Plot [plot1]
        X Axis [ax1]
        Y Axis [ay1]
        Curve [crv2]
        Label [lbl1]
        Line [line1]
      Coord Sys [Data]
      Coord Sys ID [plot1_ax1ay1]

% S-Lang
  chips> info_current;
  Window [win1]
    Frame [frm1]
      Plot [plot1]
        X Axis [ax1]
        Y Axis [ay1]
        Curve [crv2]
        Label [lbl1]
        Line [line1]
      Coord Sys [Data]
      Coord Sys ID [plot1_ax1ay1]

The info.current preference can also be used to indicate the current set of objects in the output of the info() command.
