It sounds like you want to read up on arrays and "$@" (quotes included).

Does that help?
  I haven't had time to try it yet, but yes, I'm sure that'll do the trick.
Thanks a bundle for the hints!

Glad to help!

(If you don't need the arrays, you can still be portable, too; I'm fairly sure "$@" is required by POSIX which means even most of the cruddy shells should support it. At any rate, I know *we* use it in portable scripts, and we run into a lot of cruddy shells :-).)
