My memory of this is a bit hazy, but let me just mention that the  
first time I set up a LSO I didn't realize that the LSO does all the  
work for you and the Formula or Formula variable associated with the  
LSO is what the LSO displays, and the Data field or Data variable is  
what the LSO produces. I went to a bit of extra work to use  
SuperObject commands in a procedure to _load_ the contents of the  
variable into the LSO or maybe it was to load the contents of the LSO  
into the variable, or both, I forget. Anyway, when I reread the docs  
I omitted the procedure and of course there was my data right there  
in the LSO list _and_ in the field (or variable) where I wanted it.
In other words, if you put [1]
orange
purple
green
silver
red

in the LSO Formula in the LSO properties screen and your user command  
clicks on orange green and red, well then the Data field or Data  
variable you have entered in the LSO properties screen will equal:
orange
green
red

just like that. Nothing else for you to do. :-)

[1] "orange" + ¶ + "purple" + ¶ + "green" + ¶ + "silver" + ¶ + "red"
