This package creates a DCL command which will, in : 		turn, allow the user to invoke a DCL command repeatedly.: 		It was originally submitted to "Digital Systems Journal": 		for use as a "technical tip" filler but was never placed 		in print in the journal.  $ Author's name:  Brian Schenkenberger     Package Overview:  ----------------B Pete and Repeat stood at a cliff.  Pete jumped off.  Who was left?  H For children, the answer provides a source of amusement.  For the SystemI Manager, the answer is a monitoring tool which can be used for collection  of system statistics.   I OpenVMS is replete with myriad examples of this.  The monitor utility and J the DCL commands: "SHOW PROCESS/CONTINUOUS" and "SHOW CLUSTER/CONTINUOUS".  I How many times have you wished that all the utilities or DCL commands had J this capability?  How many times have you used the UP arrow recall and theI ENTER key or written a DCL command procedure loop to repeat some command?   J No more!!!  REPEAT will allow you to repeat a DCL command on a one second + interval as a simple DCL command: $ REPEAT.   
