This section presents the basic action statements that you can specify for any object. They create a new object or delete an existing one, change the contents of objects, and change the attributes of objects. (Other action statements associated with particular features - for example, textual regions, graphical objects, classes of objects, communications, etc. - are described in each of the related topic.)
