...but you don't want to do this if the lists grow too large.
Keeping track of the last cons cell resp. maintaining a
reversed list (and reversing it once at the end, if ever
necessary) as another poster suggested is more efficient.
For short lists the solution is short and sweet, though.
Don't hesitate to ask if you need examples.
