Re: break a variable length list at a specific element

[list-abs/list-find] finds the position of an element in a list. You can 
use this to split your list with [list split]. Here's an example:

[4 (                    [1 2 3 4 5 6(
|                        |
[list-abs/list-find]
|
[t b f]
|        \
[list]    \
|            \
[list split]
|            |
|            [list split 1]
|                    |
[print left]    [print right]

I hope the ASCII patch above is readable. The top [list split] sends its 
middle outlet to the bottom [list split 1], which in turn sends its 
middle outlet to [print right]. This way you'll get two lists printed, 
one by each [print], "1 2 3" and "5 6".
