Hi Ulrich,
The varlist is not stored as a data member string in TTree/TNtuple.
The TTree::Branch function scans the list and creates a branch for each
variable. The corresponding branch varlist is stored as the title
of the branch. If you get the pointer to the branch, you get retrieve the
varlist with
  char *varlist = branch->GetTitle();

If you do not know how to get the branches, I can send you a piece of code
if you want.
