Introduction
STx implements a number of different objects which can be used to manipulate files, graphics, dialogs, etc. These objects are called shell items. See Introducing Shell Items for an introduction to shell items. For a complete list of available shell items, see below.
A new instance of a shell item is created using the NEW command. For deleting an instance of a shell item, there is the DELETE command.
#tableItem := new table hugo // will create a new table item called hugo
// and store its name (i.e., the string "hugo")
// in the variable #tableItem
// either command will delete the recently allocated table item:
delete hugo // (a) delete the table item by its name
// - OR -
delete $#tableItem // (b) delete the table item by its name stored in #tableItem
// - OR -
delete /Var #tableItem // like (b), plus: the variable #tableItem will be cleared
