Can you create your own functions? Like:
-----------
Myfunction, Parameter1, Parameter2
Msgbox, %Parameter2%

Myfunction:
Parameter2 := 2 * Parameter1
end function
----------

Something very similar to user-defined functions is currently the highest priority on the planned features list:

This is what I use. The parm can be as many as you need, then all functions just use parms appropriate to the function

Err... just a note to Dippy; it's usually considered bad programming practice to begin variables references with an underscore.

Not if you want to right libraries it aint, and I write lots of dll's

To be a little more explicit, by using the underscores generally avoids naming conflicts especially when use with includes. I think if you research early Ms documentation you'll find that they even resorted to using double underscores to keep it even deeper ie.

Lol, ok, one: I said "usually." I didn't outright object to using them ever, and two: my internal reasoning was that in some contexts it isn't even valid. At the very least, it makes it slightly less readable.
