DESCRIPTION

     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  data-
     types    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
