.SH COMMALISTS
A commalist is a list of items, usually delimited with commas.  For example:
.nf
	Harry,Ron,Hermione
.fi

.LP
Commalists allow a set of values to be manipulated as a unit, which is often
convenient.  There are
#set FILE = condex.html
#set TAG = "conditional expression 
#include link
operators and
#set FILE = functions.html
#set TAG = "functions
#include link
that can process commalists.

.LP
Commalists may be suitable when individual values are known to be small in size 
(such as integer id numbers) and where it is known that there will not be a large 
number of choices.  The total length of a commalist is limited to 250 characters.

.LP
The separator character is comma by default.  This cannot be "escaped" but it
may be changed to another character using the script directive
#set FILE = control.html
#set TAG = "#control listsep
#include link
\0.  

#include bottom
