Pulling positional vars into a list

[Michael Wray]

I'm using Susan's Lists, and I have a use case that looks like this:

/def select = \
    /set select_targ = %{1} %;\
    /if ({#} >= 2) %;\
            /for i 2 {#} \
            /remlist selectiontypes -a %;\
            /addlist selectiontypes %%{i} %;\
    /endif

My thing does a bit more that's MUD specific so I've excluded. Here's my problem - I keep ending up with the selectiontypes list containing 2|3|4 (etc) instead of, say, "/select names joe bob mary" resulting in joe|bob|mary as vars. I know I"m doing something obvious wrong but I cannot figure out what. Help please!

I also tried in a /while loop and am running into the same issue.
