I am trying to store incoming message data into a coll object. I have a patch where two different, constantly updating messages need to send their data to an object (I'm guessing coll could do this, though there may be something more efficient that I don't know of) that stores these messages as a list.

You can use [pack] or one of the [zl] objects (combine, I think) to create a list consisting of an index and the associated element(s); how you do this depends on data format (symbol, integer etc). Here are 2 helpful videos, one from me and one from "your good buddy Sam" (Delicious MaxMSP):

Without seeing your patch it's hard to give concrete advice.
