[ Repeating commands ]
The numbers 2 through 9 are simple repetition aliases. If you wish to execute a single command several times in a row, simply type the appropriate number immediately followed by the command; i.e. "3east" or "5bounce". See also 'help go' for a way to do longer, more complex series of movement commands.
As with compound aliases and the 'for' command, please do try to avoid using this capability in a way that lags the MUD.
This was recently expanded to take repetition up to 9; so you could conceivably do something like '9east'. Note, however, system change notes imply that developers would rather we do mass movement as 'go 9e' or even 'go 40ne', as it takes less to process.
