Introduction

The Std Base is not a real workbench. This page just collects all commands from the base system which do not belong to a specific workbench, but which may be used in all of them.

The base commands and functions normally start with the prefix Std, indicating that they are "standard".

Tools

Most of the commands in this page can be accessed from menus, toolbars, and context menus.
