- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .PP
- \fBLreplace\fR returns a new list formed by replacing one or more elements of
- \fIlist\fR with the \fIelement\fR arguments.
- \fIFirst\fR gives the index in \fIlist\fR of the first element
- to be replaced (0 refers to the first element).
- If \fIfirst\fR is less than zero then it refers to the first
- element of \fIlist\fR; the element indicated by \fIfirst\fR
- must exist in the list.
- \fILast\fR gives the index in \fIlist\fR of the last element
- to be replaced; it must be greater than or equal to \fIfirst\fR.
- .VS
- \fIFirst\fR or \fIlast\fR may be \fBend\fR
- .VE
- (or any abbreviation of it) to refer to the last element of the list.
- The \fIelement\fR arguments specify zero or more new arguments to
- be added to the list in place of those that were deleted.
- Each \fIelement\fR argument will become a separate element of
- the list.
- If no \fIelement\fR arguments are specified, then the elements
- between \fIfirst\fR and \fIlast\fR are simply deleted.
