Thank you Christian, for helping me learn to find in the help.

It looks like I can pass the range, but it is much more work.
It is good to know about "range" and a:firstline ...
I have added these examples to my notes.

function! BlkNum() range
let g:l = 0 | let g:b = 0
execute a:firstline . "," . a:lastline . 's/^/\=BlkInc()/'
endfun
vmap <F5> :call BlkNum()<cr>


function! BlkNum()
let g:l = 0 | let g:b = 0
'<,'>s/^/\=BlkInc()/
endfun
vmap <F5> :<C-U>call BlkNum()<cr>
