Look at getPos. It returns a 0 when a value doesn't exist in a list.
Something like so...
vList = ["Oranges", "Watermelons", "Grapes"]
if NOT vList.getPos("Apples") then
vList.add("Apples")
end if

Can someone tell me how to go about checking a list for a value,
and adding it only if it isn't in it yet?
