lrange(n)                    Tcl ( )                    lrange(n)



     _________________________________________________________________

     NAME
          lrange - Return one or more adjacent elements from a list

     SYNOPSIS
          lrange list first last
     _________________________________________________________________


     DESCRIPTION
          List must be a valid Tcl list.  This command will  return  a
          new   list   consisting  of  elements  first  through  last,
          inclusive.  Last may be end (or any abbreviation of  it)  to
          refer  to  the  last  element of the list.  If first is less
          than zero, it is treated as if it were  zero.   If  last  is
          greater than or equal to the number of elements in the list,
          then it is treated as if it were end.  If first  is  greater
          than  last then an empty string is returned.  Note: ``lrange
          list first first'' does not always produce the  same  result
          as  ``lindex list first'' (although it often does for simple
          fields that aren't enclosed in braces);  it  does,  however,
          produce  exactly  the  same  results  as ``list [lindex list
          first]''
