CLASS="function"

> takes a variable number of
     parameters. Each parameter can be either a string containing the
     name of the variable, or an array of variable names.  The array
     can contain other arrays of variable names inside it;
     <B
CLASS="function"

>&#13;     For each of these, <B
CLASS="function"

> looks for a
     variable with that name in the current symbol table and adds it
     to the output array such that the variable name becomes the key
     and the contents of the variable become the value for that key.
     In short, it does the opposite of <A

><B
CLASS="function"
>extract()</B
></A
>.
     It returns the output array with all the variables added to it.
