Name. This shows the name of the currently selected Stamp. It is the also the name as seen listed in the Stamps Menu. The name can be changed by editing this box. Such change only affect the listing's title for the stamp, the action code is unaffected.

Action. This holds the action expression(s) to be applied by the Stamp. Typing in the box triggers auto-complete for action codes and (if using a $ prefix) any system or user attributes. The action code can be (e-)edited; the change is applied if the Return key (↩) is pressed or the box loses focus. Any subsequent use of the stamp will now use the altered code.
