    I want to create a table of the channel #s and names of channels the user has subscribed. I know that GetChannelList returns these values as pairs id1, name1, id2, name2, ... = GetChannelList();

    I have developed a blind spot and can not get the id/name pairs into a table. Help? (Yes, I know its a dumb question and that anyone trying to write addons should understand such a simple thing ... please help anyway if you can)

     function buildChannelList(...)
   local tbl = {}
   for i = 1, select("#", ...), 2 do
     local id, name = select(i, ...)
     tbl[id] = name
   end
   return tbl
 end

    Then

     /dump buildChannelList(GetChannelList())
