any use of pass by reference breaks any omitted variable?

Not sure what you mean. In this (variant from the user guide example):



on mouseUp
   put 8 into someVariable
  put 5 into someOtherVariable
   setVariable someVariable,someOtherVariable
   answer "someVariable is now:" && someVariable
end mouseUp




on setVariable @incomingVar, at someOtherVariable 
   add 1 to incomingVar
end setVariable


The variable someOtherVariable is not explicitly handled. Obviously I am missing your point.  Where is your handler failing?

Pass by reference *should* be something useful, but it seems half done.

I have various handlers with optional parameters.

It seems that if *any* parameter is passed by reference, omitting any
variable causes a runtime error
