list ListXnotY(list lx, list ly) {// return elements in X list that are not in Y list
list lz;

while(i--)
if ( !~llListFindList(ly,llList2List(lx,i,i)) ) // * see Note

Note: If the if test is written as if (!~llListFindList ... , the result will be a list of elements in X that are missing from list Y. If it is written as if (~llListFindList ... , the result will be a list of elements in X that are present in list Y.
Example:
list l1 = ["a","b","c","d"];
list l2 = ["a","1","b","2","c","3"];
list ListXnotY(list lx, list ly) {// return elements in X list that are not in Y list
list lz;

//will say: d
