i wish! it seems the functionality is almost there but not quite. for example:

type abc
x,y,z
endtype

man as abc
man.x=10
man.y=20
man.z=30

a(man)
wait key
end

function a(blah as abc)
print blah.x
print blah.y
print blah.z
endfunction

it catches the "a(man)" and says "Unknown parameter at line 10."

strangely if you replace "a(man)" with "a(33)" or something it compiles and runs... so i wonder if they were planning to implement this useful feature!

i want to pass UDTs into functions!
i'm looking at yooooou!

Okay, try putting a dot on the end of man and it compiles. This works because of the way both arrays and UDTs are treated. An array always has to have its brackets, a UDT always has to have its dot. It still doesn't work properly yet with just that (a bug?), but if you put in

then that spits out the right values. Try playing around a bit.
