I use it like a list in Lisp; it's a very convenient data structure
for handling arbitrary types of data together in a collection.
It can function as a set, as a string, or as an array, among
other possibilities.  It is also necessary for some of the programming
statements, which take arguments in a list.

Two in the line?  What's the second?

Topping my wish list for additional features is more memory
(what it has is pitifully insufficient) and some additional 
means for program i/o (for convenient archival purposes.)
But alas, HP, knowing exactly what the end user wants, limited
its expansion.
