Probably what the original poster wants is not just to return a list,
but to return a list and assign its elements to multiple variables.
E.g. Python understands the following

   (A, B, C) = (1, 2, 3)

to mean A = 1, B = 2, C = 3. Lisp has several similar constructs
(MULTIPLE-VALUE-BIND and so on).

Of course it would help if people would just come right out and
say what they want.

FWIW
