You could prompt the DSPOBJD command and press F4 under object type, and
then capture those screens.  However, IBM has been known (in recent
releases) to add an object type or two during the course of the release,
and not upgrade DSPOBJD!

I consider the non-upgrading of DSPOBJD a bug if they add an object type.
They don't.
