passing parameters in a send call.

[Jim Ault]

Another way to pass the array is to

   combine pArray using cr and comma --your choice of delim's
-->now this variable is just a list
--     with the keys as the first item in each line

   send " myAdd pArrayA" to stack "someStack"

then
on myAdd pArrayA
   split pArray using cr and comma
--> now you have the array again
