Another way to store things in a library class, instead of using method text, is by plugging a list into the class.$userinfo property.

on $destruct...
Do propList.$define(name,value)
Do propList.$add('top',$cinst.$top)
Do propList.$add('left',$cinst.$left)
Calculate $cclass.$userinfo as propList

on $construct...
Calculate propList as $cclass.$userinfo
Do propList.$redefine(name,value)
Calculate $cinst.$top as propList.1.value
Calculate $cinst.$left as propList.2.value

This has the advantage that you can still lock the class if you want to, whereas access to method text requires an unlocked class.
