Help is on the way.

Yep.  Parameters work normally.

This is tied up in whether you bind the "caller's namespace" in the Bindings
tab.  If you do, then calling by name, as above, will automatically look the
parameters up in the namespace, so your example will work.  If you don't
bind the namespace (it isn't bound by default) you can only call by name if
there are no parameters.

Go to the demo site -- try it out!

They shouldn't, you're right. I'll take care of that soon.
