Indirect variable reference

Is there a way to reference a variable through another variable in
Transcript?
IOW, I'd like to do something like this:
Repeat with i = 1 to 5
put "List"&i into theList
put i into value(theList)
end repeat
The idea is that I construct 5 variables, named list1, list2, list3,
list4, and list5 in the variable theList. Then I put a value in each of
these variables through the referencing variable (theList).
The Value function is sort of what I have in mind (it first evaluates the
expression) but, of course, it doesn't work in this fashion. Is there
another way to do this (am I missing something obvious) or is this not
possible in Transcript?
TIA,
Howard Bornstein
