Here's what I pulled off the top of my head.  I'm assuming there are
no embedded commas or spaces in your list items.  I haven't tested it
but it feels right.

lst = args[1];
lst[1] = "";	/* get rid of leading percent-sign */
lst = $string_utils:strip_chars(lst," ");
lst = strsub(lst, ",", "\",\"");
return $no_one:eval_d(lst);
