Well the Actions Palette works now, for unknown reasons…
But there is a new mystery:
I have created 4 graphic objects to carry these actions: one-level-up, previous, next, and Home. The Home button works without an action being attached to it!
Could it have something to do with the following:
I remember when I deleted items there was a warning dialog asking if I wanted to delete or replace with links. In some cases, I chose the latter, because it sounded less radical, but without really knowing the difference. What is this difference?

When you create pages in Freeway, you are not manipulating HTML files in the traditional sense, rather you are editing software objects that represent those files. Similarly, when you link from one page to another within Freeway, you are not linking from an anchor on one page to a separate text file in a disk hirerarchy, you are linking from one object to another object in Freeway’s site model. This is precisely why, when you decide to move or rename a page, all links that point to that page instantly change to reflect the new path. Freeway isn’t looking through all of the HTML code for instances of the string ‘mypage.html’ and changing it to ‘mynewpage.html’, it’s simply resolving a reference between objects.
When you delete a page in Freeway that has existing object-level links from other pages in the same document, Freeway will offer you the choice to replace that soon-to-be-removed page object with a stub reference to the static (never going to change again) path to that page as it would appear if published. This substitution happens everywhere that page used to be linked, so all of the links to that page update to become what amounts to external URLs.
External URLs, like the ones you enter in the Freeway Hyperlink dialog, are just a string of text, like ../products/widgets.html or http://www.softpress.com. They don’t change unless you change them, and so if you decide to get out of the widgets business, you will have to find and change all of those references manually. Contrast that with a normal Freeway link to a page: if you rename that target page, all the links are smart and will pick up on the change automatically.
So bringing it back to your document – you replaced the original (rich) link with a static text link to the page as it would have appeared had the document been published at that instant. If you return the missing page to Freeway, you don’t magically re-establish the rich link, though. So if you then subsequently change the filename or path of the restored page, your links will not notice the change. To restore those links, you will need to go back through each one of them, open the Hyperlink dialog, and change the reference from External to Internal and choose your new replacement page.

Hi Walter,
thank you for your fast and extensive reply. I will have to try to digest it later.

Now I think I understand. It is about replacing an internal (Freeway) link with an external link. And I have figured out how I can see what has happened: If I select the graphic item which holds the Home icon and choose Edit > Hyperlink, the dialog shows an external link, …/home.html. What puzzled me was that the icon had a function attached to it which I could not see.
Thanks again for your explanation.
Hening.
