Hi Chris
Use getPos() function to identify the position of the value in the list. If
the value is not found in the list it returns 0, then add the value.
on addItem theList,theItem
if not theList.getPos(theItem) then
theList.add(theItem)
end if
end
best regards

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?
