It seems to me that this will fail if the list contains all negative
numbers
set list_of_values to {-1, -10, -15}
set minimum to 9.9999999999E+12
set maximum to 0
repeat with ref_to_value in list_of_values
set the_value to contents of ref_to_value
if the_value > maximum then set maximum to the_value
if the_value < minimum then set minimum to the_value
end repeat
{minimum, maximum}
