 From the manual.

"The .list and .nlist directives control the listing output to
the .lst file."

"The .area directive provides a means of defining and separating
multiple programming and data sections. The name is the
area label used by the assembler and the linker to collect code
from various separately assembled modules into one section. The
name may be from 1 to 79 characters in length."

That "idaseg" is just a remnant of the original disassembly.
