I'm afraid not, Erik -- your repeat loop is the way to
do it. I'm not sure what language construct could be
added to Transcript to accomodate for this in an
elegant way ; perhaps something like :
--
  repeat for each control tControl in group "Foobar"
    set the whateverProp of tControl to 0
  end repeat
--

But that's the closest math I could find.
