st: syntax behaving differently

I have a dataset
var1 var2 var3 |
|-----------------------|
| Tom 1 5 |
| Jane 2 6 |
| Suzanne . 7 |
| Henry 4 8 |
| Mike 9 9 |
and my ado file is following
program tt1
syntax [varlist] [if] [in]
marksample touse
list `varlist' if `touse'
end
exit
1. when I say tt1 var1, it doesn't list anything. Is it because var1 is string?Even it is, I haven't limited by varlist to not be string. Any clue/
2. when I say tt1, it doesn't list anything. Is it not supposed to list var1var2 and var3 since I have enclosed varlist with [] stating varlist to be optional. Any clue?
3. when I say tt1 var2, it lists var2 but ignores missing obs. Is there anoption to include both missing and nonmissing?
Thanx...
