Hard CASE: cracking the nut?

I've been running into the 10-statement script limit issue myself. Is 
there a way to put a script into a field or custom property and execute 
it without a "do" command? If so, could someone offer an example? In my 
current scenario, speed is not a big issue.

Thanks,
Marty
