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

NAME

       linsert - Insert elements into a list

SYNOPSIS

       linsert list index element ?element element ...?
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       This  command  produces a new list from list by inserting all of the element arguments just before the index'th element of list.  Each ele-
       ment argument will become a separate element of the new list.  If index is less than or equal to zero, then the new elements  are  inserted
       at  the	beginning  of the list.  If index has the value end, or if it is greater than or equal to the number of elements in the list, then
       the new elements are appended to the list.  end-integer refers to the last element in the list minus the specified integer offset.

EXAMPLE

       Putting some values into a list, first indexing from the start and then indexing from the end, and then chaining them together:
	      set oldList {the fox jumps over the dog}
	      set midList [linsert $oldList 1 quick]
	      set newList [linsert $midList end-1 lazy]
	      # The old lists still exist though...
	      set newerList [linsert [linsert $oldList end-1 quick] 1 lazy]
