The real answer is *.
End of answer.
The * operator is a pointer in a well known language most of us are a bit familiar with.
The difficulty is that Applescript, in its infinite wisdom, considers pointers to be something that must be hidden from users. Well, at a minimum, a different syntax will have to be invented just to confuse everyone who knows the slightest bit about passing an address of a data block to a subroutine..
