OK, now this is odd:
--*Compiles but returns runtime error:
set {month, state} to {1, "FL"}
--Can't set state to "FL"
--*Compiles and runs:
set {month, |state|} to {1, "FL"}
-- {1, "FL"}
--*but then returns incomplete data:
return {month, |state|}
-- {month, "FL"}
--*So, it has to be:
set {|month|, |state|} to {1, "FL"}
-- {1, "FL"}
return {|month|, |state|}
-- {1, "FL"}
