Hi,
I'm working with people used to dbx and they cannot learn that the enter
key repeats the same command.
Is there anyway that we can change this behavior? I didn't find anything
on this in the documentation.
Thanks,
Eric Desjardins

What do they expect to happen instead?

I don't think we have something to disable the auto-repeat (without
losing a lot of other useful features), but perhaops we should.
There's the `dont-repeat' command, of course, but I doubt it will help
you.

As funny as it may, they don't expect anything to happen, just the
shell to refresh. Usually, we hit enter on IRIX (dbx) to see if the
thing is dead.

It would be nice.
