| Description |
created using the "s" option with the "select" or "sselect" command. Its sole purpose and only real use is during compares and copies.
An example use of a "secondary" list is as follows: 1) Create the primary list. 2) Create the secondary list (using the "s" option). 3) Invoke the "copy" or "compare" command. 4) When the system prompts "to:", enter the filename, (preceded by a left parenthesis). The secondary list takes over and is used for output and comparison ids. A secondary list may be created to use as the "target" for a list of item-id's in the "source" or "active" list. The "end" command may be used to "deactivate" an active or secondary list. See "end" for more information on the "double whammy" effect. |

| Warnings |
Once a list is "active", the next command issued at TCL must be a valid list-processing command, otherwise the list will vanish.
For example: sselect entity by name [404] 2718281 items selected out of 2718281 items. time 06:44:22 19 Jan 1997 Sunday The list generated by the "sselect" command is no longer active. |
