Uwe,

You're going to get a lot of answers to this. 

FoldList[Plus, 0, {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}]
{0, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15}

If you don't want the leading zero...

Drop[FoldList[Plus, 0, {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}], 1]
{1, 3, 6, 10, 15}

Hello,

I would like to compute the cumulative sum for a list, but do not find 
the command.

For

{1,2,3,4,5}

I would like to get

{1,3,4,10,15}


Is there nothing builtin in Mathematica? I already looked in lists and 
matrices and Google...

Uwe
