Wayne,
I overstated the simplicity. Each list is divided into parts, viz.
[ADD]
add this
add this too
[DELETE]
delete this
delete this as well
[END]
would be the "recipient", while the "donor" could be
[ADD]
add this as well
[DELETE]
delete this too
[END]
or
[ADD]
[DELETE]
[END]
or anything in between.
What I need to do is merge the donor data into the recipient list. Not quite the duh solution you proposed, but that was my fault for oversimplifying.
Thanks.

@list1 = qw( artist awful billy blunder)
@list2 = qw( attitude blatherskite)
# something magical happens, and the contents of @list1 are now
# 'artist', 'attitude', 'awful', 'billy', 'blatherskite', 'blunder'
@sortedlist = sort (@list1,@list2);
duh.
:-D

Wizards,
I know this is a no-brainer, but like I said...
I'm sure there's something somewhere that will handle merging a sorted list
of text into a larger sorted list of text, I'm just having a case of the
lazy-thumbs today. Anybody care to point me in the right direction? Here's
what I'm trying to do:
@list1 = qw( artist awful billy blunder)
@list2 = qw( attitude blatherskite)
# something magical happens, and the contents of @list1 are now
# 'artist', 'attitude', 'awful', 'billy', 'blatherskite', 'blunder'
Thanks.
Deane
