To add to Niels note ...

With the new Ideas site, IBM have decided to make it really hard to see how to vote for an Idea.

Look just below the heading for the Idea and you should see a teeny tiny "Thumbs up" symbol. Click that to vote for the idea. Similarly to its right there is an equally tiny symbol that you click should you wish to comment.

Why they make these so hard to spot is anybody's guess.

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?
