What Happens
You can repeat many commands by typing a number immediately before
the command. For example:
Command: 3 ROLLDOWN; 3 BACKTAB
Or, you can accomplish the same operation by entering:
Command: 3#ROLLDOWN;BACKTAB
TEDIT first rolls the text down three lines and then tabs back three tab
stops.
When you use the repeat count with a text command and a text item, you
can type them together on the same command line. For example:
Command: 4 DELETE LINE
Or, you can enter:
Command: 4#DELETE;LINE
You can also perform the previous example by using function keys and the
command line. For example:
1. Press SF6 , assuming function key SF6 is assigned to DELETE.
2. Press *C to get the command line.
3. Type 4 on the command line.
4. Press F3 , assuming function key F3 is assigned to LINE.
