Sometimes when I am using lists I would like to remove items that occurs more than once. For example, the example below will return more than one text flow if I the layer contains linked text frames 



 
	set myLayerStories to parent story of text frames of layer 1 of active document 




How do you "wash" a list so that identical items only appear once?
