REPEAT

  Repeats the next command or keystroke as often as you specify, without
  your having to retype it. Takes an optional command to repeat the number
  of times you specify.

  Examples:

     The following commands erase ten words, starting with the current word:

        Command: REPEAT 10
        Command: ERASE WORD

     By specifying the optional command to repeat, the following single command
     erases the same ten words:

        Command: REPEAT 10 ERASE WORD

     You should specify the optional command when using the REPEAT command in
     initialization files to prevent having to press the key or enter the
     command to repeat.

  Usage notes:

  o  The repeat count must be greater than 1. To repeat the last command you
     typed, simply press DO twice.

  o  With the EDT or WPS keypad, you can specify repeat counts by pressing
     the GOLD key (usually PF1) and then typing a number. For example,
     pressing GOLD-5 repeats the next key or command five times. However,
     you cannot use GOLD-number sequences to repeat any of the following:

        DELETE (the <X] key)
        EDT SpecIns (GOLD-KP3)
        WPS Paste (COMMA, GOLD-COMMA, INSERT HERE)

  o  Repeat counts are multiplied if you repeat a REPEAT command or repeat
     key. For example, entering the command REPEAT 4 followed by pressing
     the EDT keypad GOLD-3 key repeats the next key or command 12 times.

  o  To cancel a pending repeat count, use RESET (or press 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. After using 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.
