My comments below are related to Home and PPL, not to CAS which may have other ways to manipulate lists.

So that List A will now contain the 32,33,34.....64th entry in List B as it's first 32 spaces?

L1:=L2({32,64})

See page 552 of the manual:

"List references
Suppose L1:={5, "abcde", {1,2,3,4,5}, 11}. L1(1) returns 5 and L1(2) returns "abcde". L1(2, 4) returns 100 (the ASCII code for d) and L1(2,4,1) returns "d". L1({2,4}) returns {"abcde", {1,2,3,4,5},11}, extracting a sublist of all the elements from 2 through 4."

One additional thing for list references is about the zero index value:
L1(0) returns the last element of the list
L1(0):=n adds n as a new element at the end of the list

Quote:Short of that is there a way to tail(32)? To remove 32 entries from the beginning of a list?

SUPPRESS(L1,1,32)

Quote:Are there any good List manipulation guides or tutorials?

Nothing I would know, but I may have missed them.
