In this case, the SomeControls sequence holds pointers, not the actual=20
values... Any functions that work with sequences of control pointers woul=
d=20
have to know that, obviously...

function sums( sequence vals ) -- add up a sequence of values
atom total
=09total =3D 0
=09for t=3D 1 to length(vals) do
=09=09total +=3D vals[t]
=09end for
return total
end function

function sumc( sequence controlIDs ) -- add up a sequence of control IDs
-- get values of all passed controls
=09for t=3D1 to length(controlIDs) do
=09=09s &=3D getValue( getText( controlIDs[t] ) )
=09end for
-- add 'em all together
return sums( s )
end function

Something like that... It's an extra step when using no variables associa=
ted=20
with the controls, but definitely doable.
