List of object types

[bvining@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Though not a directly accessed list of external object types, you could
use the Convert Type (QLICVTTP) API to validate a given object type.

Indirectly you could generate a list by spinning through all hex object
type values, though I sure wouldn't want to do that as a prompter
program...
