Change text block size, Allegro script and skill

hi,

I want to change a text block size (#16). i run a script recording and get this from the *.scr 

 setwindow pcb
trapsize 302
define text
setwindow form.textblock
FORM textblock 16 width 0.1000
FORM textblock 16 height 0.1000
FORM textblock 16 line_spacing 0.0200
FORM textblock 16 photoplot_width 0.0100
FORM textblock done 
setwindow pcb

just wonder what the FORM means in a script file...it is not a valid command in Allegro

 is it possible to enclose the FORM statements in skill code?
