well it does just what it says : )

Just break one of the listgetat() functions down.....

ListGetAt(item1, 1)

is the same as

ListGetAt("cass1,cass2,cass3", 1)

the list "cass1,cass2,cass3" has three items in it

cass1
cass2
cass3

each item's position in a list is represented by a number form left to right starting with 1.... in this specific case...

case1 would be at position 1,
case2 would be at position 2
case3 would be at position 3

so.... with the above functions...

ListGetAt(item1, 1)
and
ListGetAt("cass1,cass2,cass3", 1)

both of these would return case1 since it is at position 1 of thie list

I hope that doesnt confuse you even more

  Now we're talking... thanks Ewok... I want to understand this though...

  I understand the cfsets are setting up lists, but get slightly confused
  on the rest... if I can, I'd like to take that one step at a time:

  I know this is setting up a loop that loops as many times as there's
  elements in "item1"
  <cfloop from="1" to="#ListLen(item1)#" index="i">

  But this I don't understand:
  #ListGetAt(item1, i)#&

  Listgetat by defintion returns a specific element in a list at a
  specified position.... but can you clarify what that piece of code does

  so you're just having problems with formatting the output?

  <cfset item1 = "cass1,cass2,cass3">
  <cfset item2 = "6/9/04,8/9/04,7/9/04">
  <cfset item3 = "issue1,issue2,issue3">

  <cfoutput>
  <table>
    <cfloop from="1" to="#ListLen(item1)#" index="i">
     <tr>
      <td valign="top">#ListGetAt(item1, i)#&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
      <td valign="top">#ListGetAt(item2, i)#&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
      <td valign="top">#ListGetAt(item3, i)#</td>
     </tr>
    </cfloop>
  </table>
  </cfoutput>

    Thanks Erick... I got that to work and looked up and understand the
    replace function now but I guess my follow-on questions are these:

    My 3 key stucture basic output is this:

    cass1,cass2,cass3
    6/9/04,8/9/04,7/9/04
    issue1,issue2,issue3

    which is based on the following processing template receiving input
  from
    a form:

    <cfset me = structNew()>
    <cfset me.mytitle = "#form.title#">
    <cfset me.mydate1 = "#form.date1#">
    <cfset me.myissue = "#form.issue#">

    <table border="1">
    <cfoutput>
    <tr><td>#me.mytitle#</td></tr>
    <tr><td>#me.mydate1#</td></tr>
    <tr><td>#me.myissue#</td></tr>
    </cfoutput>
    </table>

    I still don't understand how to manipulate these comma delimited
  strings
    or space delimited strings into a viewer friendly format?

    And I hate to sound like an idiot, but what does replacing the commas
    with spaces do for outputting the data anyway ... I'm missing
  something
    here
