Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Repeat («repeat»)
          Repeats the last editing action relative to the current cursor
          position. The Repeat function considers the following types of
          operations to be editing actions:
 
            ■  Typing a contiguous stream of characters without entering
               a command or moving the cursor
 
            ■  Deleting text
 
            ■  Pasting from the clipboard
 
          Repeat does not repeat macros or cursor movements.
 
     Arg number Repeat («arg» number «repeat»)
          Performs the last action the number of times specified by
          <number>.
 
     Returns
 
     True:  Action repeated and returned true.
     False: Action repeated and returned false, or no action to repeat.
