.SH NAME
linsert \- Insert elements into a list
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBlinsert \fIlist index element \fR?\fIelement element ...\fR?
.BE

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
This command produces a new list from \fIlist\fR by inserting all of the
\fIelement\fR arguments just before the \fIindex\fRth element of
\fIlist\fR.  Each \fIelement\fR argument will become a separate element of
the new list.  If \fIindex\fR is less than or equal to zero, then the new
elements are inserted at the beginning of the list.  If \fIindex\fR has the
value \fBend\fR, or if it is greater than or equal to the number of
elements in the list, then the new elements are appended to the list.
\fBend\-\fIinteger\fR refers to the last element in the list minus the
specified integer offset.
