REPEAT
Repeats the next command or keystroke as often as you specify, without
your having to retype it.
Example:
The following commands erase ten words, starting with the current word:
Command: REPEAT 10
Command: ERASE WORD
Usage notes:
o The repeat count must be greater than 1. To repeat the last command
you typed, simply press DO twice.
o Using the EDT or WPS keypad, you can specify repeat counts by pressing
the GOLD key (usually PF1) and then typing a number. For example,
GOLD-5 repeats the next key or command five times.
o To cancel a pending repeat count, use RESET (GOLD-SELECT).
o To halt a repeating operation, press CTRL/C. However, if you are using
keystroke journaling (instead of buffer-change journaling), CTRL/C is
not recorded in the keystroke journal file. If you use CTRL/C, you
should immediately exit, to save your edits. Otherwise, if the system
fails, you may not be able to recover your work. This restriction does
not apply with buffer-change journaling, which is the EVE default.
