If I make a proc with several options:

proc/Whatever(msg="hi",color=1,bonus=1,tofu=15)

and I use the proc like this:

world << Whatever("What a wonderful day",15,72)

How does it decide which variables it's replacing with 15 and 72? Or does it just work in first come, first serve order?

I think its first come first serve, just like the built in procs. But im not sure. Better let a GOOD coder tell you, like LummoxJR :P

It goes in order, assuming any arguments you don't specify come at the end of the list, unless you use named arguments:
world << Whatever(msg="What a wonderful day",bonus=3)

You can use named arguments to skip args or use them out of order. Another way to skip args is just to put nothing between commas, like this:
world << Whatever("What a wonderful day",,3)
