: OK, what is the special form? I've looked at HELP DIAL and HELP SET

PDIAL. See pp.72-73 of the manual.

That's not user documentation, it's program edit history. I don't even
remember what XDIAL was for, but it was probably removed later when
the new intrinsic dialing commands were added, making it unnecessary.
