How do I make a list?

Thank you all.
After trying to set up a Tlist following some examples it looks to me like a Tlist cannot be created without a Type?

Is this even close to the answer?

Type state
   field state, capital
End Type

Global missed : state = New state

' Now in the function that reports wrong matches -

if state wrong missed.state = gotstate ' This is the state variable
if capital wrong missed.capital = got capital ' This is the capital variable

Hmm, the Tlist is missing.

The two variables - gotstate and gotcapital are Frame numbers to the LoadAnimImage states and LoadAnimImage capitals.
BTW: The States and Capitals are both arranged to be in alphabetical order so StateFrame 0 = 0 and CapitalFrame 0 = 31.

Do I add to the code:
missed:Tlist=createlist()
Then in the function for reporting wrong matches -
listaddlast missed , gotstate
listaddlast missed , gotcapital

Whew - this is getting a bit convoluted. sorry.
