MAKELIST(2*x-1,x,2,5) works just fine for me; it produces { 3, 5, 7, 9 }. How are you placing the MAKELIST() command into the command prompt? (It makes a difference; see my earlier post)

MAKELIST() and makelist() are two distinct commands that unfortunately share the same name.

What I've noticed when using 'makelist' in CAS is:
When you use MAKELIST from the catalog and use for ex. 2*x-1,x,2,5 as arguments CAS automatically converts the name of the function to uppercase and it does not work but when you use, as you wrote before the, internal format of a function, and put the arguments as x->2*x-1,2,5 it stays in lowercase and it works.
What interest me is how to make the 'makelist' work in CAS in program.
