- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .PP
- This command produces a new list from \fIlist\fR by inserting all
- of the \fIelement\fR arguments just before the \fIindex\fRth
- element of \fIlist\fR. Each \fIelement\fR argument will become
- a separate element of the new list. If \fIindex\fR is less than
- or equal to zero, then the new elements are inserted at the
- beginning of the list. If \fIindex\fR
- .VS
- has the value \fBend\fR,
- .VE
- or if it is greater than or equal to the number of elements in the list,
- then the new elements are appended to the list.
