Also one should check out TechNote # 14109 (at macromedia/support/director). - (authored by THIGGINS in his TS days)
It contains examples of each list command/function in older verbose Lingo & the then-new dot syntax Lingo.

Because the help documents are not super-duper complete where every related term is listed.
It IS listed under the "Lists" category in the "Categorized Lingo" button at the top of every script window, and the message window.
I find that list to be a lot more complete and helpful in finding and remembering new lingo commands than the Help.
One of the "how to program director" bits of advice from the days of yore has always been:
1) read the lingo dictionary
2) read the Using Director book
3) read the lingo dictionary, again

This is all that's under list[]

listA = [10: "one", 3: "one", 4: "three"] nCount = count(listA) Repeat with x = 1 to nCount secondPos = ListA[x] put secondPos end repeat
With this I get -- "one" -- "one" -- "three"
How do you get this from the position? -- 10 -- 3 -- 4
