List start,end
Is standard Dartmouth basic from Kemeny & Kurtz - (aka K&K) which was the
equivalent of K&R in those days. [i think I have my Dad’s copy from they early 1960’s
- which is what he taught me with in 1967].
And Yes DEC basic supported it
Sent from my PDP-7 Running UNIX V0 expect things to be almost but not quite.

Tail for BASIC. On a slow printer or CRT, you
could ^C and only see the last few lines. Better than printing out the entire thing from
the beginning.
Or did it have a way of listing only a certain range of line numbers?
Can't speak for DEC's dialect. Apple's dialect supported LIST start,end
and Microsoft's dialects supported LIST start-end (with some supporting the comma
variant as well).
Never heard of a backward LIST before. o.O
