Hi again,

ok, I did not realize that the LIST functions take the variable name instead of 
the 
list content as argument (that is not documented anywhere). However, after 
trying all 
possible variants I got it to work now using

SET(MYLIST foo bar)
SET(ITEM2FIND foo)
LIST(FIND MYLIST ${ITEM2FIND} INDEX)

Probably someone should include a small example in the documentation for
clearance.

Regards
Clemens
