     NAME
          dtcreate - The CDE Action and Datatype creation client.

     SYNOPSIS
          dtcreate [<filename>]

     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.

             Manager.

          -  Modifying of actions and datatypes definition files that
             were created using this tool.
