COMMAND: If held down continuously, the keys on the CPC464 auto repeat at the <repeat period>
after the given <start delay> period. The setting is made in 1/50 sec units, in the range 1....255. The
default rate is set to 30,2
Very small start delays will interact with keyboard de-bounce routines. The actual speed at which
the keyboard is ' read' by the software is not affected by this com-mand.
Not all keys repeat, the KEYDEF commnd will allow the user to redefine the particular attributes of
a given key.

COMMAND: The cassette can be witten at either 2000 baud (where <integer expression> is 1), or the
default of 1000 baud (where the <integer expression> is 0). When loading a file from tape, the
CPC464 automatically establishes the correct reading speed from information in the file software,
thus it is not necessary for the user to specify.
When using cassette tape of uncertain data recording ability, the 1000 baud rate is recommended for
maximum reliability, see the notes in Chapter 2 for further information.
