I want to create a list containing other lists but can't seem to figure out how to do it. When I create a new, empty list then try to add already-created lists, those lists lose their "listness", i.e. their contents just become items in the new list. For example: set thisList to {1, 2, 3} set thatList to {"a", "b", "c"} set bothLists to {} set bothLists to ((bothLists & thisList) & thatList) ---> {1, 2, 3, "a", "b", "c"} but I want to get: ---> {{1, 2, 3}, {"a", "b", "c"}} Can this be done? Thx for any help, RJay
