setting a list to "nothing"

[kevin pyatt]

Hello,
Question 1:

is there a way to set a list to "nothing"?
Let's say I want to populate a list with a text member that has nothing in it. Sound's strange but I need to do it.
Example:
a = []
add a, the text of member("blablabla").line[?].item[?]
Now if I "put a" I get "". Is there a way to get "nothing"?

Question 2:

Is there a way to set a variable to not equal a number?
Example:
on setntothing me,a
if the text of member("blablabla").line[?].item[?] = 0 then
a <> 0
end

Also, what is the precedence of a<>0 vs a=0?
For example, if there were several if statements referencing variable "a"
if blabla then a = 0
else if blablabla then
a <>0

Wierd Questions. Thank you for your time.
