You can do both. In the iteration case, it's better to build it as a vector, then convert the vector to a list.

Code:
local lst = new Vector(50);
forEachInstance(Room, {room: lst.append(room)});
lst = lst.toList();


Lists and functions work very well together. A common pattern is to start with a list and filter it through many different functions (or recursively through the same function) before returning a value.

Ok. I'm hearing I just can't reach inside and tweak it without a reassignment?

Thanks for clarifying, Ben.


Conrad.
