The ''ΔLIST'' command returns the first differences of the elements in the list **Ldata**, i.e.:
$$ data_2-data_1 \\
data_3-data_2 \\
data_4-data_3 \\
\ldots $$
The list must contain at least two elements, and the elements themselves must be suitable for mutual subtraction.

''ΔLIST'' is fully equivalent to its **userRPL** counterpart.
