RE: MIA, Ask an Expert: hangman questions

Hi,
Well, try:

show member? "c "abcde
show member? "c [a b c d e]

both will report "true. Therefore,

if member? "c [a b c d e] [dowhatever]

As for "placing in the middle position", I assume you mean something like
make "newlist placethisatthatpositioninthatlist "c 3 [a b d e]
then (sorry, this proc looks really hard - explaining it takes a full page)

to placethisatthatpositioninthatlist :thingtoplace :position :targetlist
if :position = 1 [op fput :thingtoplace :targetlist]
op fput first :targetlist placethisatthatpositioninthatlist :thingtoplace
:position - 1  bf :targetlist
end

try:
make "newlist placethisatthatpositioninthatlist "c 3 [a b d e]
show :newlist
[a b c d e]

Good luck,
Alain
