+.SH NAME
+ledit \- Replace elements of a list stored in variable
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBledit \fIlistVar first last \fR?\fIvalue value ...\fR?
+.BE
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The command fetches the list value in variable \fIlistVar\fR and replaces the
+elements in the range given by indices \fIfirst\fR to \fIlast\fR (inclusive)
+with the \fIvalue\fR arguments. The resulting list is then stored back in
+\fIlistVar\fR and returned as the result of the command. 
+.PP
+Arguments \fIfirst\fR and \fIlast\fR are index values specifying the first and
+last elements of the range to replace. They are interpreted
+the same as index values for the command \fBstring index\fR,
+supporting simple index arithmetic and indices relative to the
+end of the list. The index 0 refers to the first element of the
+list, and \fBend\fR refers to the last element of the list.
+.PP
+If either \fIfirst\fR or \fIlast\fR is less than zero, it is considered to
+refer to the position before the first element of the list. This allows
+elements to be prepended.
+.PP
+If either \fIfirst\fR or \fIlast\fR indicates a position greater than the
+index of the last element of the list, it is treated as if it is an
+index one greater than the last element. This allows elements to be appended.
+.PP
+If \fIlast\fR is less than \fIfirst\fR, then any specified elements
+will be inserted into the list before the element specified by \fIfirst\fR
+with no elements being deleted.
+.PP
+The \fIvalue\fR arguments specify zero or more new elements to
+be added to the list in place of those that were deleted.
+Each \fIvalue\fR argument will become a separate element of
+the list.  If no \fIvalue\fR arguments are specified, then the elements
+between \fIfirst\fR and \fIlast\fR are simply deleted.
+.SH EXAMPLES
