Read range (*) selection info [No]? ?0t70 #0}je 5}
For many commands, you may specify a RANGE of lines on which to perform their function.  These commands have been marked with asterisks (*).  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:

    LAST line:   Delete, Edit, Replace
    ALL lines:   List, Read, Find, Copy
   FIRST line:   Insert
