Really, Powhatan's answer means LIST does not do what the original
question wanted. In fact, what one should want is a spreadsheet view of
the selected variables only (and, perhaps, the selected cases only),
with the ability to move right/left and up/down to cover more variables
or more cases. Perhaps one day LIST (or some other equivalent command)
will give us that.
