EDIT/3000:Reference Manual

3-3.  RANGE 

A range expression in a command informs EDIT/3000 which part of the WORK
file is affected by the command.  A range expression can consist of only
one position or it can consist of all characters between and including
two positions.

If two positions are declared as a range, the first position must
sequentially precede the second position.  A slash separates the two
positions.  A range list consists of several ranges, separated by commas.
For example, 7/10,50,100/200 is a range list that includes lines 7
through 10, line 50, and lines 100 through 200.  A null range in a range
list is indicated by two commas.  If ALL is specified as the range in a
command, the range includes all text currently in the WORK file.
