Thanks - this helps me move a step forward - I now have:

<map:call function="main">
  <map:parameter name="userid" value="{session-attr:userID}"/>
  <map:parameter name="test" value="foo"/>
</map:call>

and in the flowscript I have:

function main {
  var thisUser = cocoon.parameters["userid"];
  var thisTest = cocoon.parameters["test"];
...
}

Now thisTest shows up with the value passed to it,
but thisUser does not?
 
You say I need to create a session ... but my understanding
is that the authentication action (which I use) creates such a 
session;  certainly when I call a stylesheet with:

<map:transform src="stylesheets/test.xsl">
  <map:parameter name="userid"  value="{session-attr:userID}"/>
...

the userid IS passed correctly and can be displayed.

How to explain why the same parameter is not passed to
flow??

Thanks
Derek

First of all you have to make sure there is a session object. You can create 
one with cocoon.session 
or with session actions I believe.

To pass dynamic parameters to flowscript, add the map:parameter to the map:call 
statements:

<map:call function="myfunc">
<map:parameter name="myvar" value="{session-attr:myattr}" />
</map:call>

And not to the map:script command!

In flowscript you will need the following:

function myfunc {
var myvar = cocoon.parameters["myvar"];
// or
var myvar = cocoon.parameter.myvar;
...
}

Cheers,
Geert
