Hi Eric,
as Jon wrote, the command is dialog cellmaintenance, place cell tool itself doesn't offer the ability to open the dialog when it's started. You can merge both actions into one key-in. Because opening dialog doesn't affect runnin command, you can use both place cell icon;dialog cellmaintenance or dialog cellmaintenance;place cell icon.
With regards,
Jan

Although I am not a big fan of MS_CELLLIST, you can define it to a list of cell libraries and entering a cell name will cause it to search through those libraries for the cell.
Define MS_CELL as the path(s) to those libraries and the MS_CELLLIST only needs cell library names.
Also, if you attach a cell library and save settings, it should remain attached.
Lastly, under the utilities menu is Cell Selector. This tool turns cell libraries into button menus. You can save the loaded libraries as csf files to reload various groups. You can remove cells from the menu while they remain in the cell library and you can make one csf file access multiple cell libraries. It is also possible to have the button access patterning commands and more.
