NAME
       lrange - Return one or more adjacent elements from a list

SYNOPSIS
       lrange list first last
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       List  must  be  a valid Tcl list.  This command will return a new list consisting of elements first through last, inclusive.  First or last
       may be end (or any abbreviation of it) to refer to the last element of the list.  If first is less than zero, it is treated as if  it  were
       zero.   If  last is greater than or equal to the number of elements in the list, then it is treated as if it were end.  If first is greater
       than last then an empty string is returned.  Note: ``lrange list first first'' does not always produce the same	result	as  ``lindex  list
       first''	(although  it  often does for simple fields that aren't enclosed in braces); it does, however, produce exactly the same results as
       ``list [lindex list first]''
