It is not easy to understand how you mean it. - you could simply define function with multiple arguments - you can pass single argument which has many items, like you could pass list, plist or alist or hash (setq my-hash (make-hash-table :test 'equal)) (puthash "Name" "Heime" my-hash) (puthash "Age" 37 my-hash) (puthash "Skills" '(Programmer Scientist) my-hash) (defun my-fun (hash) (let ((name (gethash "Name" hash)) (age (gethash "Age" hash)) (skills (gethash "Skills" hash))) (format "Your name is %s, your age %s and your skills are: %s" name age skills))) (my-fun my-hash) ➜ "Your name is Heime, your age 37 and your skills are: (Programmer Scientist)" That way you are passing `hash' as single argument which may have unlimited other arguments indirectly.. -- Jean Louis
