It's horribly inelegant, but I have occasionally done the following: Suppose I want to repeat the command xyz 64 times. I type xyz, snarf it and paste it three times. Then I snarf the lot of them, and paste three times. Then I snarf that and paste three times. Ugly as hell, but it does work. -- John Stalker School of Mathematics Trinity College Dublin tel +353 1 896 1983 fax +353 1 896 2282
