Guys,
thanxx for the advice but what goes for the dots in "syntax..., values"? I
really cannot get this to work, everytime I try it, I get error codes r(197)
and r(198)...

Very true, but min and max here refer to the number of element, so you
will want to fix those at 6, and the range is governed by > and <. So
to require everybody to give a list of 6 integers between 0 and 50
(exclusive) and to sort those numbers you type:
syntax ... , values(numblist min=6 max=6 >0 <50 sort integer)
This way the block of code Michael added for checking the number of
elements in `values' becomes unnecesary.
Hope this helps,
Maarten
