Modifying elements in a list

I want to write a routine to pick an initial point (axlEnterPoint) for text and incrementally subtract 100 mils from the "Y" coordinate in the list returned for each subsequent line of text to be entered. The question is how do I read the coordinate data within the list and how can I modify it for the next line of text?

Use cadr to get the y coordinate.
eg:
pt = axlEnterPoint()
x = car(pt)
y = cadr(pt)
y2 = y - 100.0
sprintf(nil, "x: %2.1f y: %2.1f", x, y2)

Cheers, Dave
