Nononononononono. The whole point of lists is that you do not need to increase
the size (unless of you course you *really* mean to increase the size of the
list), you just add and remove items from the list.

i.e. to add another thing to the list you would do:

If AddItem(guilist()) Then guilist()\entry = <whatever>

> Dim List guilist.lview(count+1) : ResetList guilist()

If you reeeeeeeeeeeally need to do this then you need to copy all your data out
of your list before you re-Dim it and then copy it back, otherwise the list
will be empty, or full or crap.

Dunno about better, but the correct way is this:

> GTChangeList 0,1

; (Add|remove|kill|burn) items, do whatever you want to the list here

> GTChangeList 0,1,guilist()

And now it should show the new list data.

Do it properly. Even the manual, BUMs, and online help all explained
GTChangeList I think.
