The maplist function accepts a block of lists and a function, which must accept as many arguments as there are lists in the block, and return a value. On the first call to the given function, it is passed the first cons cell (not element!) in each of the given lists. On the second call, it recieves the second cons cell from each list. This continues until one or more of the lists run out of elements. The values returned from the successive calls are collected into a list, which is returned as the final result:

Stack: 
[ [ "a" "b" "c" ]l |   :: car ;   maplist   --> list
Stack: 
list first   list second   list third
Stack: "a" "b" "c"
