Voila! You've sent out another raw transaction, but this time using named arguments for clarity and to reduce errors.
> **WARNING:** This doesn't actually seem to work at the moment. The `createrawtransaction` command gives the error "Unknown named parameter inputs", though it's definitely listed as the appropriate argument name in the help page.
With this lesson out of the way, we're now going to put named arguments back on the shelf. If you want to use it your own, you should; just consult the `help` info for each command to see what the arguments are called. However, this tutorial will now return to the shorter (but not necessarily more intuitive) use of ordered arguments.
> **WARNING:** At the time of this writing, there was a bug in the `createrawtransactions` named arguments. The help files said to use `inputs`, but the code used `transactions`. We believe that `transactions` will stay in usage and the help files will be updated accordingly.
