# $EPIC: insertw.txt,v 1.4 2007/03/02 02:32:04 jnelson Exp $
======Synopsis:======
$__insertw__(<index> <word> <word list>)

======Technical:======
   * If the <index> argument is omitted the empty string is returned.
   * If the <index> argument is less than 1, then the return value is the rest of the argument list as it is passed. (<word> <word list>)
   * Otherwise, the return value is a copy of <word list> that has had <word> inserted as the <index>th word, counting from zero.
   * No words in <word list> are removed.
   * Remember that <word list> is a list of [[what is a word|words]].

======Practical:======
Use this function when you need to insert a word into a word list and
you have a specific place in mind for it.  If you use an index of 0,
then it will return the arguments just as you passed them, with any
spaces between <word> and <word list> included.  This is similar to the
$[[unshift function|unshift]]() function.

======Returns:======
<word list> with <word> inserted as the <index>th word.

======Examples:======
$insertw(1 blah hi there bob)       returns "hi blah there bob"

======History:======
This function first appeared in "plus-2" (post-ircII, pre-EPIC)
