>The problem with current List Memory format is even if the caller argument is passed by reference and List Memory hides it. The callee can not check this because it would not know the caller's argument variable name.

Actually... tried this:
private ShouldBeHidden
LOCAL IsLocal
ShouldBeHidden="this is private"
isLocal="this is local"
do trythis with ShouldBeHidden, isLocal

procedure trythis(tuVisible, tuInvisible)
	list memory TO tmp.txt
and got this:
ISLOCAL     Local  C  "this is local"  hidden_private
SHOULDBEHIDDEN
            (hid)  C  "this is private"  hidden_private
TUVISIBLE   Local  shouldbehidden
TUINVISIBLE
            Local  islocal
    4 variables defined,    42 bytes used
When I called it as a function, got this:
TUVISIBLE   Local  C  "this is private"  trythis
TUINVISIBLE
            Local  C  "this is local"  trythis
When I called it as trythis(@ShouldBeHidden, isLocal), I got
ISLOCAL     Local  C  "this is local"  hidden_private
SHOULDBEHIDDEN
            (hid)  C  "this is private"  hidden_private
TUINVISIBLE
            Local  C  "this is local"  trythis
TUVISIBLE   Local  shouldbehidden
So a list memory like (prefix for parameters) should find the original variables and list them instead of the current procedure name if by ref, or the procedure name if by value... Interesting. Not sure if this would work the same in a form and all possible scenarios (within execscript, code called from a menu clause like skipfor, stored procedure, function call within a sql statement etc etc), but may be worth investigating.
