What's wrong with:

        put theValue into field theField

?!

I think the 'do' command has made people fail to realize what HC syntax allows!

BTW: This is very hackable... consider what happens if theField was not
what you expected. Even worse consider how I can embed arbitrary commands
in theValue and theField. Do is _VERY_ evil here.

What happens if theValue is "some_function()"?!
