passing parameters on to other functions [message #8772]

Hi:
I want to pass the parameters that have been sent to
a function directly to another function or procedure. The difficulty
is that there may be optional keywords and optional functions that are
also needed to be passed on.

One obvious option would be to use a series of nested ifs, but
this can get messy as the number of optional parameters increase. I
have also resorted to using the 'execute command', but there just must
be a cleaner way of handling this issue. Any ideas anyone?

I was thinking, for instance, that if there was a way of setting
undefined keywords/parameters to something that is still undefined,
without idl complainning, then all one has to do is pass ll the parameters
to the next function (undefined parameters will still remain undefined and
everybody will be happy. Thanks in advance for all the help.
