Action controls are used to execute commands and determine the logical flow from one screen to another.  ANYKEY executes a command when any key or button is pressed.  This is useful for opening screens, screen sequences and screens showing work in progress.  BRANCH contains a set of commands that will be executed if the execution of another command results in the branch being chosen.  BUTTON displays a standard Windows 3D button with  commands that will be executed when the button is clicked.  CALLBACK contains commands that will be executed when the associated MESSAGE function is triggered during a simulation.  CLOSESCREEN causes the current screen to be closed without any user action.  This is useful for transient screens.  COMMAND causes the command to be executed when the screen is first entered.  SETWB contains commands that will be executed when the Workbench variable is changed.  TEXTMENU displays a line of text and contains a series of commands that will be performed when the line of text is clicked on or selected with the keyboard.  TIMER displays a countdown time and contains a series of commands that are executed when the countdown reaches 0.
