Subroutine Definitions and Calls 235
The statement
rock around the current date
later in the same script displays the current date in a dialog box.
Here’s another example of the use of subroutine parameter labels:
to check for yourNumber from bottom thru top
if bottom  yourNumber and yourNumber  top then
display dialog "Congratulations! You scored."
end if
end check
The statement
check for 8 from 7 thru 10
later in the same script displays the specified dialog box.
