Ken,

I don't normally think of repeat and have rarely used it except for drawing
a long line.

Repeat(str,n)	str = what to repeat and n is the number of times.

As I read what you have written, to place the cursor on the 4th line of the
browse this would indicate n=18	(6*(4-1))

Can you explain the logic please.
