EVE REPEAT — VMS 5.0

 REPEAT

 Repeats the next command or keystroke as often as you specify, without
 your having to retype it.

 Example:

    Command            Purpose or effects
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    1.  REPEAT 5       Tells EVE to repeat the next operation five times.
                       The repeat count must be greater than 1.

    2.  ERASE WORD     Erases five words, starting with the current word.

 o  Similarly you can repeat a typing key, such as to enter a row of dashes
    or asterisks.

 o  CTRL/C may cancel a repeat operation, but its use is NOT recommended,
    because CTRL/C is not recorded in the journal file.  If you use CTRL/C,
    you should immediately exit, writing out your buffers, and then restart
    the editing session.

 o  If you are using the EDT or WPS keypad, you can repeat operations by
    pressing the GOLD key (typically PF1), typing a number, and then typing
    a command or pressing a key.

 o  To repeat the last command you typed, simply press DO twice.
