For many commands, you may specify a RANGE of lines on which to perform their function. These commands have been marked with asterisks (c1*c7). Here're some examples of valid range specifications:
5 Line 5 only
5-10 Lines 5 through 10
1,7 Lines 1 and 7
5-10,14 Lines 5 through 10 and 14
If a 'range' command is executed without specification, or with line numbers out of range, C-Net will use these defaults:
c3 LAST line:c7 Delete, Edit, Replace
c3 ALL lines:c7 List, Read, Find, Copy
c3 FIRST line:c7 Insert
