According to the documentation, DATA is only used "...as an input stack to
act as responses to INPUT statements..."

so your "basic.program.that.builds.a.list" would have to contain
   INPUT COMMAND;EXECUTE COMMAND
or you could add another EXECUTE line after the DATA/EXECUTE lines which ran
the following program:
   0001: INPUT COMMAND
   0002: IF @SELECTED THEN EXECUTE COMMAND
   0003: END
