function arguments

[Rustom Mody]

The function make-translation-table shows its help like so:

-----------------------
make-translation-table is a compiled Lisp function in `mule.el'.

(make-translation-table &rest ARGS)

Make a translation table from arguments.
<etc etc>
----------------


However Ive to call it like so

(defvar apl-translation-table
  (make-translation-table '((?a . ?α) (?b . ?β) (?c . ?γ) (?d . ?δ) (?e . ?ε))))

and not

(make-translation-table (?a . ?α) (?b . ?β) (?c . ?γ) (?d . ?δ) (?e . ?ε)))


Am I missing something basic??
