Hi Stuart,
Addendum to my last post. I made a note about CLEAR, but not that I

Hi Stuart,
Tom gave you the best general answer, using REPEAT *around* the calls
you want to make, so I'll just chime in with a note.
Disks are faster these days, but you probably don't want to use WRITE
repeatedly if you're going to be making ten thousand calls that way.
Instead, build up a str
oops
should have been:
>> count: 10
>> a: copy "" insert/dup tail a "*" count
>> a
== "**"

I find the second less sexy but easier to read inside code.
