 :This operation performs a function call (implicitly placing the current program counter on the execution stack) to an ``external'' procedure of a script. More precisely, exported procedure <tt>dispindex</tt> of script <tt>script</tt> is invoked, where <tt>dispindex</tt> is an offset into the script's Exports list (i.e., <tt>dispindex = ''n'' * 2</tt> references the ''n''th exported procedure).
-:The ``Exports list'' is defined in the script's type 7 object (cf. section [[SCI/Specifications/SCI_virtual_machine/Introduction#Script_resources|Script resources). It is an error to invoke a script which does not exist or which does not provide an Exports list, or to use a dispatch index which does not point into an even address within the Exports list.
