Ok, sorry; here's a recipe:

1. package the following example function:

function test(list myl[null])
  if nelem(myl) != 0
    print "This shouldn't be printed if the user didn't touch the
default input."
  endif
end function

2. open some datafile and create an arbitrary but non-empty list named
"spam"

3. execute the function package from step 1; list "spam" appears as
selected in the list input drop-down menu

So the function package does not honor the [null] default setting.

Nothing too serious, but a little annoying.

Cheers,
Sven
