Apologies to Nigel Garvey - email went direct to him rather than to the
list. I forget that Apple have a policy of setting the return address
to that of the original server rather than the list server - of the 10
or so lists I subscribe to, this is the only one with such a policy.

Why do you create a script object to hold the list of numbers? Why
don't you access the list of number passed into the function directly?
If it's a speed thing, can you explain a but further?
Many thanks
