     Syntax: startaddress endaddress
             startaddress L count
 
     An "address range" is a pair of memory addresses that specify the
     higher and lower boundaries of a sequence of contiguous memory
     locations. You can specify a range in two ways:
 
       1. Give the starting and ending points:
 
               startaddress endaddress
 
          In this case, the range covers <startaddress> to
          <endaddress>, inclusively. If you don't supply an
          <endaddress>, CodeView assumes the default range. Each
          command has its own default range; the most common default
          range is 128 bytes.
 
       2. Give the starting point and the number of objects you want
          included in the range:
 
               startaddress L count
 
          This type of range is called an "length range." The
          <startaddress> is the address of the first object in the
          list, and <count> specifies the number of objects in the
          range. The size of the objects is the size taken by the
          command. For example, the Dump Bytes (DB) command has byte
          objects, the Dump Words (DW) command has words, the
          Unassemble (U) command has instructions, and so on.
