37 Stole a pig
38 And away he run.

40.01 The piper's son
40.02 He learned to play

The command:
*ADD 38
38 And away he run.
38.1 The pig was eat
38.2 And Tom was beat,
38.3 //
*
lists line number 38. Since line number 39 already exists, the EDIT
program starts adding new text at line number 38.1 and uses a
numbering increment of .1. Line number 38.2 is the last line of new text
as well as the current line. 5.
The command:
*LIST LAST
40.03 When he was young;
*
lists the last line in the file and makes line number 40.03 the current
line. Line number 38.2 remains the last line of new text. (See the LIST
command, later in this section, for more information about LIST.)
