unfortunately no.

The original function actually works very well for other parts of the program, 
and I am using it to do something which it was not originally designed to 
do ;( However, apart from the various nested list evels, it works just 
fine ;)

Gregor's solutions is awesome, I think I'll just stick to that... thanks!
