st: passing indefinite no of arguments

Hello all,
Could someone give me an idea or give me a lead on this problem.
So, say I have a do file which will add the arguments and display
*sum
args a b c d
di `a' +`b'+`c'+`d'
This one is easy since I could pass 4 arguments a, b, c and d and my do file will sum them. What if I don't know the no of arguments I am passing? I could have passed 2, 3, 5 or even 1 and find their sum.
How would you pass the arguments and code? Any help will be highly appreciated...
Thanks,
Tashi
