Syntax

return = objectName._new( );

Details

The syntax of _new and the way that arguments of _new are processed depend on the type of class to which _new is sent. The class can be one of these:

an Object subclass (subclasses of SASHELP.FSP.OBJECT.CLASS)
a Widget subclass (such as SASHELP.FSP.PBUTTON.CLASS, CHECKBOX.CLASS, GRAPH.CLASS, etc., or their subclasses)
a metaclass (the Class class or subclasses of SASHELP.FSP.CLASS.CLASS)

Creating New Objects Programmatically

Use the first syntax (objectName._new) to create a new object. When invoking _new on an object subclass, the _init method of the new instance (new-object-id) is executed and passed init-arg if it is specified. Then, the new instance's _new method is invoked with the remaining arguments (new-arg...new-arg-n).
