This is the best answer i've gotten so far... but its still not working... what exactly does the star do? the other solutions people provided do not suit my needs, my printout function was just an example, what i need it for is more complicated. I actually just need to feed the members of the list into the function... and this is to be applied to different functions with different numbers of arguments needed.
