NAME

       append - Append to variable

SYNOPSIS

       append varName ?value value value ...?
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       Append  all  of	the  value arguments to the current value of variable varName.	If varName doesn't exist, it is given a value equal to the
       concatenation of all the value arguments.  The result of this command is the new value stored in variable varName.  This  command  provides
       an  efficient  way to build up long variables incrementally.  For example, ``append a $b'' is much more efficient than ``set a $a$b'' if $a
       is long.

NAME

       lappend - Append list elements onto a variable

SYNOPSIS

       lappend varName ?value value value ...?
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       This  command  treats  the  variable given by varName as a list and appends each of the value arguments to that list as a separate element,
       with spaces between elements.  If varName doesn't exist, it is created as a list with elements given by the value  arguments.   Lappend	is
       similar	to append except that the values are appended as list elements rather than raw text.  This command provides a relatively efficient
       way to build up large lists.  For example, ``lappend a $b'' is much more efficient than ``set a [concat $a [list $b]]'' when $a is long.

EXAMPLE

       Using lappend to build up a list of numbers.
	      % set var 1
	      1
	      % lappend var 2
	      1 2
	      % lappend var 3 4 5
	      1 2 3 4 5
