Many thanks, Hans! I wasn't sure I made myself clear, but defineactivecharacter does the job very very nicely. One day I understand one of its many definitions - especially the \uccode tilde business, which is probably necessary for the TeX mastication process ;-) Enzo Hans Hagen wrote:

\egroup
otherwise a 'character B' and not an 'active character B' ends up in the definition
This may be easier:
\def\Whatever {\defineactivecharacter B {[oeps]}}
bla bla \start \Whatever B \stop ble bla
