Lists
You can do list operations in HOME and in programs. A 
list consists of comma-separated real or complex 
numbers, expressions, or matrices, all enclosed in braces. 
A list may, for example, contain a sequence of real 
numbers such as {1,2,3}. (If the Decimal Mark mode is 
set to Comma, then the separators are periods.) Lists 
represent a convenient way to group related objects. 
There are ten list variables available, named L0 to L9. You 
can use them in calculations or expressions in HOME or 
in a program. Retrieve the list names from the VARS 
menu, or just type their names from the keyboard.
You can create, edit, delete, send, and receive named 
lists in the List catalog (
LIST). You can also create 
and store lists—named or unnnamed—in HOME lists
List variables are identical in behaviour to the columns 
C1.C0 in the Statistics aplet. You can store a statistics 
column to a list (or vice versa) and use any of the list 
functions on the statistics columns, or the statistics 
functions, on the list variables.
