I'm pretty sure he ment function arguments

procedure foo(bar:string)
put bar
end foo

foo("this string is passed to function foo")

hes saying:

he wants to make a procedure... but it interacts with its arguments


eg:
foo (hi)
will return hi
this alone isnt usefull, but with other stuff it can be.. eg:

procedure foo(go : boolean)
if go = true then
put "foo is starting up"
put "foonizledom forever"
put "end of foo"
else
put "this has been disabled for now"
end foo

foo(true)

the arguments could be a variable, such as something which has been altered before... but the idea behind this is that the variable dies after it has ended... unlike making a varaible go at the begining of the program

Build a library of usefull proc's and anytime you need them just load em up and put them in your program, will save a lot of time (depending on what you make).
