USAGE:
REPEAT 'word value body
DESCRIPTION:
Evaluates a block a number of times or over a series. <-------------
REPEAT is a native value.
ARGUMENTS:
word -- Word to set each time (Type: word)
value -- Maximum number or series to traverse (Type: integer series)
body -- Block to evaluate each time (Type: block)
(If you can call this documentation... :)
The difference between REPEAT and FOREACH is that the latter
allows using multiple words.
Regards,
Gabriele.
