	<li>The following <var>list</var> method call creates a new <var>stringlist</var> instance whose three items are, respectively, the strings <code>Moe</code>, <code>Larry</code>, and <code>Curly</code>:		<li>The following <var>list</var> method call creates a new <var>stringlist</var> instance whose three items are, respectively, the strings <code>Moe</code>, <code>Larry</code>, and <code>Curly</code>:

	<li>The following <var>list</var> method call creates a new <var>Stringlist</var> instance whose first three items are, respectively, the strings <code>Moe</code>, <code>Larry</code>, and <code>Curly</code>, and then contains a copy of all the items in <var>Stringlist</var> <code>%sl2</code>:		<li>The following <var>list</var> method call creates a new <var>Stringlist</var> instance whose first three items are, respectively, the strings <code>Moe</code>, <code>Larry</code>, and <code>Curly</code>, and then contains a copy of all the items in <var>Stringlist</var> <code>%sl2</code>:

	<li>You can use the <var>list</var> method in contexts where a <var>stringlist</var> is a method parameter. For example, the <var>[[Run (Daemon function)\|Run]]</var> method of the <var>[[Daemon class\|Daemon]]</var> class takes a <var>stringlist</var> object as an argument. A <var>list</var> method call can be used for such an argument, as shown below:		<li>You can use the <var>list</var> method in contexts where a <var>stringlist</var> is a method parameter. For example, the <var>[[Run (Daemon function)\|Run]]</var> method of the <var>[[Daemon class\|Daemon]]</var> class takes a <var>stringlist</var> object as an argument. A <var>list</var> method call can be used for such an argument, as shown below:
	<p class="code">%d is object daemon		<p class="code">%d is object daemon
Line 52:		Line 56:
	</p>		</p>

	However, in this example, it is necessary above to specify the class <~~var class="term"~~>%(Stringlist):</~~var~~> preceding the keyword <var>list</var>, because strings are also valid in the first argument for <var>~~[[Run (Daemon function)\|~~Run]]</var>, and <var>list</var>; without a qualifier it could be interpreted as a field called <var class="term">list</var>.<li>		However, in this example, it is necessary above to specify the class <code>%(Stringlist):</code> preceding the keyword <var>list</var>, because strings are also valid in the first argument for <var>Run</var>, and <var>list</var>; without a qualifier it could be interpreted as a field called <var class="term">list</var>.
	In cases where a <var>~~stringlist~~</var> argument is expected, you can specify the <var>List</var> keyword without a qualifier. For example, a user method called Stuffit takes a <var>~~stringlist~~</var> input:
