Within a procedure, you reference parameters using the symbol names P1 through P8. These symbols are local to the current procedure level.

There is no built-in “SHIFT” function that can be used to exhaust the list of parameters, as there is in UN*X and DOS. If you need this functionality, write it as a GOSUB.
