     DESCRIPTION
	  The CreateAction client is used to create actions and
	  datatypes to integrate an application into the CDE.
	  CreateAction provides the most commonly needed functions
	  including the creation of actions for an application,
	  creation of the associated datatypes for the application's
	  data files, and the ability to specify the Open and Print
	  actions for those datatypes. The output from this tool is a
	  actions and datatypes definition file placed within the
	  users $HOME/.dt/types directory and an action file that is
	  placed in the users $HOME directory. CreateAction also
	  provides the ability to edit a action and datatypes
	  definition file that was created using this tool.

	     be visible within the CDE's managers such as the File
	     Manager.

	     were created using this tool.
