I agree that the syntax should be the same. the parenthesis difference is
annoying
Then there's the way RETURN is handled in functions as opposed to handlers
(vs RETURN FOR VALUE and RETURN FOR ERROR)

Thanks a lot, Ralph and Bob.
I think, I've got it.

In short, yes. Commands can still pass parameters, and as you may not know CAN
ALSO RETURN VALUES. The difference is that functions are called with
parenthesis and must be put into a variable. eg.
function bobtest 1, 2
-- do some stuff
return true
-- do some other stuff
end bobtest

I am well aware that I shouldn't expect *everything* in Livecode to be
intuitive, but this one bugs me:
Having a handler like
function DoStuff_1 a, b
return a
end DoStuff_1
When you do "put DoStuff_1 (2,3)" the result is 2.
But with
on DoStuff_2 a, b
put a
end
