All textual region drawing statements are valid in object definitions and action statements. In object definitions, the initial appearance of a textual region is defined by the drawing statements that are specified in the contents of its definition; for example:

visible textual region Report size 300 50

    at position 50 100

        insert "This is the text"

During runtime, you can change the drawing statements that make up an object, by using the add to and change action statements.
