 DESCRIPTION
     The function param(n) can be used only within the body of the
-    definition of a function.  If that function is f() (which may
-    have been defined with named arguments as in f(x,y,z)) and
-    either the number of arguments or the value of an argument
+    definition of a function.
+
+    If that function is f()
+
+	[[ which may have been defined with named arguments as in f(x,y,z))
+
+    and either the number of arguments or the value of an argument
     in an anticipated call to f() is to be used, the number of
-    arguments in that call will then be returned by param(0), and
-    the value of the n-th argument by param(n).
+    arguments in that call will then be returned by:
+
+	param(0)
+
+    and the value of the n-th argument by:
+
+	param(n)
+
+    Note that unlike the argv() builtin, param(1) is the 1st parameter
+    and param(param(0) is the last.
