I have a specific change list, and from the command line I want to list all files that were a part of that change list. How do I do this?
user114245 gave the best answer, but only in a comment. I'm adding as an answer to give it more visibility, and to improve a little.
For change 12345, this is the closest you can get with just a p4 command
p4 files @=12345
which gives only this output
//depot/file1#3 - delete change 3 (text)
//depot/file2#3 - edit change 3 (text)
//depot/file5#1 - add change 3 (text)
If you want to remove the extraneous info about each file, you'll need to process that output through more tools on the command line. Assuming a standard unixy environment, you can use a single sed command like so
p4 files @=12345 | sed s/#.*//
to get the desired result
//depot/file1
//depot/file2
//depot/file5
The currently accepted answer by Mike is this
p4 describe 12345
which gives all of this extra detail in the output
Change 12345 by day@client1 on 2013/06/21 00:25:28
Some example changes
Affected files ...
... //depot/file1#3 delete
... //depot/file2#3 edit
... //depot/file5#1 add

==== //depot/file2#3 (text) ====

< This is file 2
---
> This is file 2 - edited
That was improved on by Doug's answer which uses grep and awk to filter out the noise and just leave the files changed, but the command is quite long
p4 describe -s 12345 | grep '^\.\.\.' | awk '{print $2}'
I think the solution given here is neater.
