Putting 'number1 TO number2' as a list works for small numbers say '1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10' but just imagine if that was '1 to 1000'.
It amazes me that this absolutely minmal use of posix 'for' loop is not catered for.
As I have written above I could use a 'while' loop which could inculde a pseud-STEP subcommand but this will need an initialisation line per call, easy yes, but a PITA.
It must be the way I search... ;o/
