NAME
lappend - Append list elements onto a variable
SYNOPSIS
lappend varName ?value value value ...?
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This command treats the variable given by varName as a
list and appends each of the value arguments to that list
as a separate element, with spaces between elements. If
varName doesn't exist, it is created as a list with ele
ments given by the value arguments. Lappend is similar to
append except that the values are appended as list ele
ments rather than raw text. This command provides a rela
tively efficient way to build up large lists. For exam
ple, ``lappend a $b'' is much more efficient than ``set a
[concat $a [list $b]]'' when $a is long.
