Multiple Array Element Selection

Hi All,
I have searched through the rev. dictionary / and pdf docs and have not found the
proper syntax to select multiple elements of an array.

To burrow from Dave's example,

function reverseLines2 tList
   split tList by cr
   put the number of lines of keys(tList) into tNumKeys
   repeat with i = tNumKeys down to 1
     put tList[i] & cr after tResult
   end repeat
   delete last char of tResult
   return tResult
end reverseLines2

Seems to me the syntax should be something like this.

put tList[i to (i + 5)] & cr after tResult

other then doing ...
put tList[i] & cr after tResult
put tList[(i+1)] & cr after tResult
put tList[(i+2)] & cr after tResult
etc.

Any suggestions?
