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

Has anybody come up with an easy way to write functions or handlers that are 
synonyms for other functions/handlers where both take a variable number of 
parameters?

If I want to have a handler "a" and synonym "aardvark", I would normally write

on a name
    aardvark name
end a

on aardvark name
    answer "I'm an aardvark named"&&name
end aardvark


Now imagine doing that while supporting a variable number of parameters.
