[ncl-talk] Possible bug (?) with lists in 6.2.0

[Carl Schreck]

This bug appears to persist in 6.2.1. Has there been a fix that didn't make
it into the release?

I'm only just learning how to use lists, but I am also looking for a way
for the variable in the list to survive after the original variable has
been deleted or re-assigned.

    Thanks!
    Carl
