min() function anomalies

[Shari]

This may not affect any of you, but I discovered a change that has 
sent me scurrying thru a lot of hoops wondering why my code was 
broken.

The original Metacard handled the min() function as Hypercard once 
did.  But later versions handle it differently.  If your program was 
originally written in Hypercard or Metacard and ported to Revolution, 
you might be affected by this.

The min() function returns different results depending on the engine version:

min(1,2,3,4,)   # note the extra comma

Hypercard 2.4.1 = 1
Metacard 2.4.3 = 1
MC/Rev 2.7.4 = 0
MC/Rev 2.8.1 = 0

I do not know if Rev would consider this a bug, or a "feature".  Does 
anybody know?

max(1,2,3,4,) produces 4, as one would expect.
