Getlist is an array used by the getsystem to store all the gets. You can do really "interesting" things by accessing the getsystem directly. Clipper was WAY ahead of its time when it was still in fashion.

Sometimes, especially when you have functions calling other functions from within gets (as in valid blablabla), the called function needs to have its own internal getlist array. That's why it's a good idea to always declare a local empty array getlist at the beginning of your functions' code.
