REPEAT with special key codes

Here I go again attempting to use the online docs. Silly me. Anybody know if this
can work?
http://fptech.com/Products/Docs/fpmanhtm/references/commands/repeat().htm shows the
following example:
Use PUSHKEY to push 10 right-arrow keys
Then: pushkey repeat ("[CRGT]","10")
I tried doing this today, but only a single [CRGT] was performed. It seems REPEAT
doesn't want a special key code in the first arg. The output of my test program
::end:
@KEYT::zz(50,*)=repeat("[CRGT]","5"); errorbox zz:
is:
[CRGT
Of course, I've coded
loop:i lt Value:zz=zz { "[CRGT]"; i=i + "1"; goto loop:
::pushkey zz:
and moved on, but still curious for the future: can REPEAT be used this way, or is
this more info in the online docs that's Just Plain Wrong?
