/shift

Usage:

/SHIFT [n]


Shifts the positional parameters left by n. That is, the positional parameters %(n+1) ... %# are renamed to %1 ... %(#-n). If n is omitted, 1 is assumed.

/shift is useful only during macro expansion.

Example:

  /def worlds = /while ({#}) /world %1%; /shift%; /done

Then, the command "/worlds foo bar baz" would execute the commands "/world foo", "/world bar", and "/world baz".
