That may be faster than the way I was going to do it. I would have done:

function getUnique pList1,pList2
   put pList1 & cr & pList2 into tTemp
   repeat for each line l in tTemp
     add 1 to array[l]
   end repeat
   repeat for each key k in array
     if array[k] = 1 then put k & cr after tList
   end repeat
   return tList
end getUnique

But arrays have some overhead. Timing may depend on how long the lists are.
