lists goto item N

Okay I'm probably missing somthing obvious here!

is there any quick way to goto the Nth item in a list, rather than going to the first item and calling next N times?

Method ValueAtIndex:Object( index )
uses a loop btw!

Another reason I use arrays. But let's not get into that right now. ;)

How else would it? If it "went straight there" it wouldn't be a linked list, it'd be an array.
