NewList type parameter questions

Hi all,

when playing around with the List routines, I stumbled across this puzzle:

When I have this

[...] NCAR Command Language Version 6.0.0 [...]
ncl 0> x = [/ 42 /]
ncl 1> print(ListGetType(x))
(0) cat
(1) fifo

, then why is that the code below fails

ncl 2> y = NewList("cat")
fatal:NewList: unknow list type
fatal:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 2

, this does not fail, but doesn't give the default result (as for x)

ncl 3> z = NewList("fifo")
ncl 4> print(ListGetType(z))
(0) fifo

, and this works as expected?

ncl 5> a = NewList("join")
ncl 6> print(ListGetType(a))
(0) join
(1) fifo

Could anyone solve this for me?

Cheers,
Karl
