REPEAT LINE COMMAND
The Repeat Line Command (RL) instructs NICE to repeat the command(s) on that
line over and over again.
For example, the following command
D EOOO; F 8000, 8800, AB; RL
causes NICE to execute the Display memory command and Fill memory command
over and over.
NICE only ceases executing the commands on the command line when it receives a
Ctrl-C frorfl the terminal or when the target system is reset.
COMPUTER INTERFACE TO THE COMMAND LINE INTERPRETER

response to ASCII characters is not always obvious. The responses which cannot be
easily determined by viewing a CRT are listed below:
o
Non-control characters are echoed exactly as received.
o
Control characters are not echoed.
o
Lower-case characters are converted to upper-case.
o
You can terminate a command line with either a Line Feed or a Carriage
Return.
o
A Line Feed followed by a Carriage Return signifies that NICE is sending a
new line.
o
The response to a backspace (Ctrl-H) is the sequence Ctrl-H, space, Ctrl-
H. (On a terminal, this sequence deletes one character.)

A Ctrl-U causes NICE to respond with the sequence Ctrl-H, space, Ctrl-H
