Ah, know i understand :-)
Sure this is possible...
...
put the hilitedlines of fld "mylistfield" into tLines
put tLines into remaininglines
repeat for each item i in tLines
## do something with: line i of fld "mylistfield"
delete item 1 of remaininglines
set the hilitedlines of fld "mylistfield" to remaininglines
end repeat
...
Tested and works :-)
