Hear! hear!  I also hate that .. Mebbe I should just right my own script
but this is a real pain.  I would also like to see supported  a paramter
list like so
Procedure param1, param2, param3, param4

I hate having to throw everything down and then use statements like

Procedure ParamList
Put item 1 of ParamList into Param1
put item 2 of ParamList into Param 2
