I have a coll object that gets different numbers fromn the internet. Sometimes this list contains the same number many times in a row. To avoid the music I make becoming oring, I would like to output only the different numbers that are received. How do I do that?

Why not using a [coll] for that too ;-) As indexes are unique, if you 

fill the coll with your data, and you dump it and recollect the things 

together you'll get only the unique items.

There is nothing necessarily boring about repeated notes. 'Jingle Bells' is one of the most popular songs of all time.

But if you want to filter out repeats, how about [change]?

Sure but you have to reorder the list first, if the elements are not 

consecutive. /* Rumors: in Max 5, zl might have a new mode to filter

consecutive. /* Rumors: in Max 5, zl might have a new mode to filter
