passing parameters in a send call.

[Andre Garzia]

Dar,

Thanks for pointing the bug number. I wish I could vote more than 5  
votes on a given bug!!!

As a scheme programmer, sometimes, I wan my lists back...

PS: I might not have control of the stack I need to call, think I'll  
use customProps to carry the array key/value pairs.

Cheers
andre
