The minus sign (-) in ranges selects a single line that is a specified number of lines before a specified line. Format: [range] - [n] Range is a single line range, and n is an integer. The line selected is the line that is n lines before the line specified by range. If you omit range, the current line is used; if you omit n, 1 is used. Ex: TYPE 15 - 3 Display the third line before the line numbered 15. TYPE END -1 Display the last line in the buffer. TYPE - Display the previous line.
