Subject: [9fans] command repetition in sam/acme

Hello,

I just had to edit a file which has very long lines having >1000
'words' seperated e.g. with a TAB character. I had to find say 1000th
word on such a line.

In vim, it's easy. You use '1000W' command and there you are.
Can the same be achieved in sam/acme? The main problem for me is the
repetition --- i.e. how to do sth. known number of times...

Thanks
Ruda
