Passing Lists II

[Sarah]

This seems to be working as I would expect. A comma is used as a 
parameter delimiter when calling a handler or function, so you are 
sending your sub-handler 7 parameters and only dealing with the first 
in your script.

Here is what I would use:

on setTime theTime
   if the paramCount > 1 then
     repeat with i = 2 to the paramCount
       put comma & param(i) after theTime
     end repeat
   end if
   answer "setTime time is" && theTime
end setTime

Alternatively, you could replace the commas with something else before 
sending and put them back after sending.

Cheers,
Sarah
