it cannot yet be specified.
And i'm not sure this will change in the "near" future. (near meaning 
what you want, but later than 2002 :-) )

Note that in 2.x (probably 2.1), you should be able to define up to 4 
differents "masks" for up to 4 differents types of "biblios". In this 
case, you will be able to define 1 screen for true biblios (which 
requires a 100c), one for meetings (111c)...
