Re: Proposal for New RPG BIF

The thought of specifying a value to repeat was part of the original idea
- I suggested there already a different name, such as %repeat. I think
having a version where blank is default is OK, kind of Hungarian notation a
la those old Texas Instrument calculators, eh? Repeat 50 times this
character!

Niels Liisberg has just suggested a more appropriate

%REPEAT(<character>:

<times>) option. Maybe you can comment on the IDEA's site.

Like I said, *if* I had the slightest idea how to do so, or even if I'm
eligible to comment.

Unfortunately, so far, I have no idea about either. Is there a link?
