PowerLoom does not have procedural programming (actions, methods or 
production rules) like Loom.  The logic rules can do more than they 
could in Loom, but they are still not really procedural or behavioral 
in the sense that Loom production rules were.

At some point in the future, we may add a production rule system to 
PowerLoom, but we don't have any plans for features analogous to 
actions or methods.  One would have to program that into the 
application logic.

What is it you wish to do with the actions and methods?
