I'm looking for a shorter way to use Toolbox parameter blocks that aren't
implemented by FB.  For example, suppose that one field in a pb is
_ioFileCreator, which is not defined by FB.  If the constant was defined,
you could do this:

pb.ioFileCreator&=myCreator&

But the constant, and many like it, are not defined.  Of course, one could
define all the constants for the pb, but I'd rather not do this every time
I need a different variation of the pb.  So right now I do this:

BLOCKMOVE @myCreator&,@pb+52,4

But I'd like to be able to do something like:
pb.52;4=@myCreator&
Is this possible?
