The 50G has useful list-processing commands like DOSUBS and DOLIST.
It doesn't appear these (or something similar) exist in the Prime (see Chapter 25 of the Prime manual). Of course, some tasks (like computing moving averages for n elements of a list) can be achieved with seq (although that is a CAS command, but can be used in Home programs with CAS("seq( . . . )). And the users can always program their own specific application of list processing. But the beauty about DOLIST, for example, was that it could take operators and/or programs as arguments and was universal.
