Using an ArrayList

Here is how you might add an element to an ArrayList:

0161:       List tList = new ArrayList();
0162:       tList.add("Hello world");

This results in a String being stored in the first element of the ArrayList.

Here is how you might later retrieve it:

0163:       String tNewString = (String)tList.get(0);
0164:       System.out.println(tNewString.substring(0, 5));
