Variable parameter synonym functions

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Mikey,

Here's a way:

on mouseUp
      put fun1("a","b")
end mouseUp

function fun1
      repeat with x = 1 to the paramcount
           put param(x) & comma after myList
      end repeat
      put "fun2(" & char 1 to -2 of myList & ")" into myFun
      return value(myFun)
end fun1

function fun2
      return the paramcount
end fun2

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
