That's a fair point which concede to but OPs further actions on the list may (or may not) involve
repeat with x from 1 to (count of available)
DoSomethingWith item ( item x of available) of theListe
End repeat
Versus
repeat with aThing in available
DoSomethingWith aThing
End Repeat
It's less typing :-) that's all

Given the original question, I was not sure if the OP wished to get
the values of the items or their index in the original list.
I choose to return the index.
Only the OP knows what he really wanted.
