$entries.Add( New("ABC",arg1) )

See that 'Object' is well defined handle to that object created by 'New'.
It is that handle you want to add to the entries after the object is made.

In php/java it would be:
  $entries.Add( Object = New("ABC",arg1) )

There you are allowed to replace almost every part by complex functions

$entries.Add( New(document.getElementById(Sqr(4)*2) , prompt("the Argument","1234").substr(0,4) ) )

That is what people do when they want impress the boss.
For testing and debugging when something goes wrong they slap themself 
because they do not understand what happens after a few months. 
Result a angry boss :)
