No problem.  The "Fine Manual" is indeed big, and "list" appears a lot
there. The tricks I use to find specific commands is to use the paranthesis
in the search (search for "list(") or do a strict upper-case search (search
for "LIST").

Even then, I sometimes need help to find what I need in the documentation.
This group has really been helpful to me with such "simple" questions so I
am happy to help in turn when I can.
