you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully
out of date.
Fill Memory (Description)

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The Fill Memory (F) command fills the addresses in the specified
range with the byte values specified in the argument list. You can
enter byte values using any radix.
The values in the list are repeated until the whole range is
filled. Thus, if you specify only one value, the entire range is
filled with that same value. If the list has more values than
the number of bytes in the range, the command ignores any extra
values.
The Fill Memory command provides an efficient way to fill up a
block of memory with any values you specify. You can use this
command to program in Assembly mode because it enters values
directly into memory. You can also use it to initialize large data
areas, such as arrays or structures.
