Essentially I'm trying to use a 2D list to hold lines that I will eventually print to the screen. Blank elements in the list will be printed as spaces. I suppose every time I add an element, I could find the difference between the size of the list and the desired index and fill in the range between with " " values, however I just wanted to see if there was a more natural way in the language.
