Description

The mkclass command creates a class identified by the Name parameter. The class must not already exist. The name parameter can contain only upper and lower case letters, numbers and underscores. The names are limited to 16 characters in length. The names Default and System are reserved. They refer to predefined classes. Any Attribute=Value argument will initialise the specified attribute. See chclass for more information.

Flags
