In the Docs,there are two kinds of list commands, functions and methods. I've created a global list:tlist.

how do use either ?the functions and the methods.

thanks,

so it's the same?

global list:Tlist

list.remove("my entry") 'Function ListRemove( list:TList,value:Object )

list.remove("my entry") 'Method Remove()

list.addfirst("myentry") 'Method AddFirst:TLink( value:Object )

list.addfirst("myentry") 'Function ListAddFirst:TLink( list:TList,value:Object )

ok thanks

Yeah. Close to 90% of all 'Functions' are really just wrapers for Methods, so people can pretend they aren't programming object oriented.

is there an advantage between using these two?

local a=score.list.count()  'method
local a=CountList(score.list) 'function

I would use the method - the function wrapper just adds a small amount of overhead.
