How about statically initialised structures? How do you do the equivalent in
Modula of the 'C':

struct Gadget STD_Gadget[GADGETS] = {
/*NEXT, LFT, TP,WDTH, H, FLAG,  ACT, TYP, REND, Z, TXT, Z, SPEC, ID, Z */
{ G(1), IN1,TP1, WD1,HT, SF,     SA,  SG,    Z, Z,   Z, Z, SI(0), 0, 0 },
{ G(2), IN1,TP2, WD1,HT, SF|SEL, SA,  SG,    Z, Z,   Z, Z, SI(1), 1, 0 },
{ G(3), IN1,TP3, WD1,HT, SF,     SA,  SG,    Z, Z,   Z, Z, SI(2), 2, 0 },
{ G(4), IN3,TP4, WD3,HT4,BF1,    BA,  BG,BB(0), Z, TOK, Z,     Z, 3, 0 },
{ G(5), IN4,TP4, WD4,HT4,BF2,    BA,  BG,BB(1), Z, TNO, Z,     Z, 4, 0 },
{ G(6), IN6,TP4, WD6,HT4,BF1,    BA,  BG,BB(2), Z, TVL, Z,     Z, 5, 0 },
{ NULL, IN5,TP5, WD5,HT5,PF,     PA,  PG, IMAG, Z,   Z, Z,  PROP, 6, 0 }
};
