Strange hang

[Robert Sneidar]

Wha? Pass by parameter? Isn't there an issue with using that method with arrays? Maybe I misunderstand. What I know is that you cannot pass an element of an array as a parameter to a command or function. You can only pass the entire array. I ran into this some time ago, which is why I know.
