Two additions, which I've just thought:

declare/dimension, local array, CreateObject, NewObject...

BTW, I don't see in your list array functions. There are lots of them:
afields, adbobjects, alines, etc.

>Here is my short list of VFP commands/syntax that create, release or potentially update variables. Note that in the following list, VAR is used to describe simple, scalar variables, arrays, or objects. I recognize that my grouping of commands into contemporary and deprecated (commands that we should no longer use) is highly subjective.

>Contemporary commands:
>- Assignment statements: VAR = expression
>- Average|Calculate|Count|Sum expression [, expression ... ] to VAR [, VAR ... ]
>- Copy to array VAR ...
>- Do myfun with VAR [, VAR ... ] // forces variables to be passed by reference
>- Explict passing of variables by reference: myfun( @VAR [, @VAR ... ] )
>- Function myfun( VAR [, VAR ... ] )
>- For [ VAR = ... | each VAR in ]
>- Lparameters VAR [, VAR ... ]
>- Paramaters VAR [, VAR ... ]
>- Procedure myfun( VAR [, VAR ... ] )
>- Public|Local|Dimension VAR [, VAR... ]
>- Scatter [ memvar | to VAR| name VAR ]
>- Select ... into array VAR
>- Set textmerge to VAR memvar // new in VFP7!
>- Store expression to VAR [, VAR ... ]
>
>Deprecated commands:
>- @ ... get VAR
>- Accept ... to VAR
>- Clear memory
>- Declare VAR [, VAR ... ] // Dimension is the 'prefered' syntax
>- Private VAR [, VAR ... ] // does not create vars, but hides visibility
>- Release [ like pattern | except pattern ]
>- Restore from ... [additive]
>- Set Udfparms to reference // Udfparms 'should' be set to value
