Ellipsis in IDL? [message #40122]

How do you define a procedure to take N number of arguments when you
don't know what N is before the procedure call? For those of you who
have worked with C, what I'm after is something similar to the ellipsis
(...) which allows N many arguments to be specified for functions such
as printf.

In IDL, the print command is obvious example of what I'm trying to do.
The signature of print is:

print [, Expr1, Expr2, ... , ExprN]

So, how can I write a procedure to take N many arguments?
