List (of line numbers) A line number list consists of one or more LINE NUMBERs sep- arated with commas or semicolons. The last two line numbers in the list usually specify the scope of a command. For example, "5,7d" means delete lines 5 through 7. If the list consists of only one line number, it is equivalant to a list with that line number written twice with a comma separating. The sense of the semicolon is to set the CURRENT LINE POINTER to the value of the line number before the semicolon before evaluating the line number after it, whose value may depend upon the value of the current line pointer. For command syntax, type "hcomsyn". For LINE NUMBER syntax and semantics, type "hln".
