Sorry about the confusion. I'm taking from one element from each list per
record. The lists can all be arbitrarily long as long as they share the
same length.

lista = [1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 3]
listb = [2; 5; 7; 8; 1; 2; 4]
listc = [4; 6; 8; 3; 5; 8; 2]

type t = {a : int; b: int; c: int}

{a=1; b=2; c=4}
{a=2; b=5; c=6}
{a=3; b=7; c=8}
{a=4; b=8; c=3}
...

I will subscribe to the beginners list as well.

Thanks,
Casey
