     NAME
          lindex - Retrieve an element from a list

     SYNOPSIS
          lindex list index
     _________________________________________________________________


     DESCRIPTION
          This command treats list as  a  Tcl  list  and  returns  the
          index'th  element  from it (0 refers to the first element of
          the list).  In extracting the element, lindex  observes  the
          same  rules  concerning braces and quotes and backslashes as
          the Tcl command interpreter; however, variable  substitution
          and command substitution do not occur.  If index is negative
          or greater than or equal to the number of elements in value,
          then an empty string is returned.
