I believe you make a list using #var list {item1|item2|item3|item4}.

The mud i play on (toril) you can not do anything while scribing a new spell into your spellbook. I want to make a trigger that I can load all of the spells I want to scribe into my list and when it completes scribing it moves to the next item on the list.

#t {You finish scribing spell * to a gold leaf spellbook.} {scribe @list}

#delnitem list 1
scribe %item(@list,1)

That's one way to do it. %pop() or %push() is another way.

If you're not wanting to delete any item, then you'll have to deal with a counter, which is easy enough to do.

#ALIAS scribeall {#VAR itemcount 1;scribe %item(@list,@itemcount)}
#TRIGGER {You finish scribing spell * to a gold leaf spellbook.} {#IF (@itemcount!=%numitems(@list)) {#ADD itemcount 1;scribe %item(@list,@itemcount)} {#SAY Finished scribing spells!}}

Thanks Carneus, working great! Many back up copies of my spell books. Now I just need to get it to remove the book when full and hold another one that has no spells in it.

That part is easy enough. Just add the 'remove book;wear 2.book' or whatever the command would be to wear an empty book to the 'Finished scribing spells!' bit. It'd look like this, of course: Finished scribing spells!;remove book;wear 2.book.

Glad it's working great for you! :)
