I'm new to lists.

How do I retrieve information from it?

I'm trying to make one of nine things happen when a button is pressed and I'm a bit stuck.

Apologies if this had already been asked, I've looked and couldn't find the answer.

Thank you. I have seen this, but where does it slot in?

Ive read that, but thank you.

My issue is the interface. Where do I find the piece that fits into the 'get from list' piece?

"Get item # from list" needs to go somewhere. Where does it go?

A few examples. Since lists can be anything, they can go anywhere. To do anything with numbers, you have to use the "as number" block.

Can I get it to go through my list and select an entry every time the up arrow is pressed?

Yes. You can loop through the list, and there is a block to exit the loop, so you can use that when your reach your item and do your stuff.
