I assume what you want to do is create a representation of a Form that 
you can store in initialization code, as opposed to storing in an 
external file.  For that, most of the work is already done for you with 
Form>>storeOn:   e.g.:

     String streamContents: [:strm | form storeOn: strm]

will return a string that can be read back into Squeak to recreate the 
form; note that this string uses fromArray:

You can then paste this string into your initialization code, so that it 
looks something like:

initialize

form1 := (Form
    extent: 256 at 256
    depth: 16
    fromArray: #( 1610244090 1610244090 1610244090
     1610244090 1610244090 1610244090 1610244090
     1610244090 1610244090 1610244090 1610244090
     1610244090 1610244090 ....
