dir() is the answer to the question you ask.  It'll display the entire 
global context.  But usually there's a better way.  If you think you 
previously defined a function
     def myfunc()
         ....

just enter myfunc at the prompt (without parentheses).  It should tell 
you it's a function, or undefined.
