The ∟ command indicates the beginning of a custom list (i.e., any list the user creates, not including the default lists L,,1,,...L,,6,,). You almost always need to include this when accessing or manipulating a custom list. The maximum length of the list name (not including the ∟) is five letters. ∟ABCDE works, but ∟ABCDEF does not.

= Optimization =

You don't need to include the ∟ command when [[TI-BASIC:Store|storing]] (→) to a list. Some of the list commands also allow for this optimization, such as [[TI-BASIC:Setupeditor|SetUpEditor]]. However, it can create problems when using [[TI-BASIC:Input|Input]] and [[TI-BASIC:Prompt|Prompt]] because you might only be asking the user to input a list, but a real variable would also be allowed.

= Error Conditions =

* '''[[TI-BASIC:Errors#undefined|ERR:UNDEFINED]]''' is thrown if you try to use ∟ on an undefined list.
