There is no direct way to get content out of that list with OBJ-> or LIST-> or similar. Please see http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-6415.html for the most recent discussion.

I'd like to correct this, but would like some feedback. Currently, there is a limit of 128 items in the stack. What should happen if you have too many items in your list that it will overflow the stack and lose items at the top?

Example: You have a list of { 1,2,...999}
Example: You have a list of { 1,2,...126} and already have 10 items in the stack.

I'd like the Prime to use all available memory for the stack but in the absence of that capability, an Out of Memory or Stack Overflow error would be appropriate.
