note that drawPolygon should be "turn 360/sides" (below)

I'd like to make a simple drawPolygon script that needs two inputs, one of length of each side and one for number of sides.

The basic prototype is:

 drawPolygon (length, sides):
    repeat sides
        forward length
        turn sides/360   <-- turn 360/sides

With Etoys, It looks like the limit is one input parameter for a script, so that the script would be limited to:

 drawPolygon (sides):
   repeat sides
      forward 100         <-- the user would need to hard code the length of the sides
      turn sides/360

Can I use more than on numerical input in a script?

Thanks,
 Randy Latimer
