You must mean something else.

% set multiStatementList {

set foo(a) 1
set foo(b) 2

(bin) 2 % eval $multiStatementList
2
(bin) 3 % parray foo
foo(a) = 1
foo(b) = 2

I *do* understand what you mean about [list] escaping semicolons. My
solution has always been to build the script as a string and [append]
the semicolons instead of [lappend] them. The [join $listOfLists ";"]
solution also treats the script and the semicolons as strings.
