Try this:

(DEFUN C:TRC (/ BE SS LS NO P1 P1)
 (setvar "CMDECHO" 0)
 (prompt "Select boundary edge(s)...")
 (terpri)
 (setq BE (ssget))
 (terpri)
 (prompt "Select objects to trim via crossing window...")
 (terpri)
 (setq P1 (getpoint "1st Point:"))
 (terpri)
 (setq P2 (getcorner P1 "2nd Point:"))
 (terpri)
 (setq SS (ssget "C" P1 P2)
       LS (sslength SS)
       NO -1
 )
 (COMMAND "TRIM" BE "")
 (repeat LS
  (setq NO (1+ NO))
  (COMMAND (list (ssname SS NO) P2))
 )
 (COMMAND "")
 (setvar "CMDECHO" 1)
 (PRINC)
)

To extend the same way, try this:

(DEFUN C:EXC (/ BE SS LS NO P1 P1)
 (setvar "CMDECHO" 0)
 (prompt "Select boundary edge(s)...")
 (terpri)
 (setq BE (ssget))
 (terpri)
 (prompt "Select objects to extend via crossing window...")
 (terpri)
 (setq P1 (getpoint "1st Point:"))
 (terpri)
 (setq P2 (getcorner P1 "2nd Point:"))
 (terpri)
 (setq SS (ssget "C" P1 P2)
       LS (sslength SS)
       NO -1
 )
 (COMMAND "EXTEND" BE "")
 (repeat LS
  (setq NO (1+ NO))
  (COMMAND (list (ssname SS NO) P2))
 )
 (COMMAND "")
 (setvar "CMDECHO" 1)
 (PRINC)
)
