I gave this a little more thought, and off the top of my head, I'm not
sure you can make list put out exactly what you need.  But if you
combine it with emacs, a quick macro will do the job.  Actually, emacs
(microemacs, Dave Lawrence's version, 3.6 or later) alone will do the
trick.  If you don't know how to write the macro, give me a shout and
I'll do it for you.

Note that I redirected followups.
