Yes, just do not use the parens.
Standard VB calling method. You can use the parens if you place the word
call in front of the procedure or sub.

Subject: Re: Multiple Parameters to Hotkey Routines
If I load:
Keyboard.RegisterHotkey("Control-shift-Z", "mySub", nothing,
Array("see", "dog", "run"))
sub mySub(aParms)
speak aParms(0) & aParms(1) & aParms(2)
End Sub
I get:
hotkeypassing.vbs - Microsoft VBScript compilation error
Line 1 Column 89
Keyboard.RegisterHotkey("Control-shift-Z", "mySub", nothing,
Array("see", "dog",
"run"))ยท
Cannot use parentheses when calling a Sub
