The special variable ``*'' holds the list of arguments to the current function. For example, in a drop_in_action: drop" script, the ``*'' variable will contain a list of the filenames of the icons that were dropped into the window.
The number of icons dropped is given by $#*. Each of the individual elements in ``*'' can be obtained with $*(1), $*(2), and so forth. For convenience, these can be abbreviated to $1, $2, and so forth.
