This has bitten me before, too. Usually what I find is that I have
managed to package up two parameters into what the called function
sees as a single parameter. Check the paramCount in your function and
make sure it's not 1. Watch those parentheses. Try this:

get hello((3,4))

function hello pParamX, pParamY
  put the paramCount
end hello
