Re: [O] org-map-entries but with arguments?

[John Kitchin]

I guess this information should be accessible in the entry where the function is called, e.g. by a property (that may be inherited or set in the file). then in your function just get the property values and do what you want. Alternatively, you can probably do this with global (or maybe lexically let) variables.

Is there a lisp trick for adding arguments to the function called by `org-map-entries`?

I have the following function:

(cl-defun org-lms-return-all-assignments (&optional (send-all nil) (also-mail nil) (post-to-lms t) )
  "By default mail all subtrees 'READY' to student recipients, unless SEND-ALL is non-nil.
In that case, send all marked 'READY' or 'TODO'."
  (interactive)
  (message "Mailing all READY subtrees to students")
  (let ((send-condition
         (if send-all
             `(or (string= (org-element-property :todo-keyword item) "READY")
                  (string= (org-element-property :todo-keyword item) "TODO") )
           `(string= (org-element-property :todo-keyword item) "READY")
           )))
    (org-map-entries
     #'ol-send-just-one))
  (org-cycle-hide-drawers 'all))

I'd like to relay some of hte functions arguments to the one called internally to do the work.  ~(ol-send-just-one~ takes an ~also-mail~ and a ~post-to-lms~ parameter,just like ~org-lms-return-all-assignments~, but I'm not sure how to trick org-map-entries into passing those arguments on. Any hints?  Thank you!
