Your answer is about compiling a subroutine that does something. What's
wrong with the current wording:

       How do I generate a sub call with a variable-length
       parameter list in PIR?

       Use unprototyped calls and functions and pass as many
       arguments as you have.


How to I retrieve the contents of a variable-length parameter list being passed to me?

       You can check the passed parameter count in the subroutine
       with the argcP variable. A simpler way is to use the
       foldup opcode, which creates an array of all passed
       arguments.


It would be helpful to have small, *runnable* source code examples along with the answers. Actually, its more important to have these code examples than writing around them imho.
