2. Current Form X -- Repeat Option = R
Next Form Option = C
Next Form Y -- Repeat Option = A
X is displayed until the repeat option is terminated, then Y is displayed and appended
to itself until the repeat is terminated again.
3. Current Form X -- Repeat Option = A
Next Form Option = C
Next Form Y -- Repeat Option = A
X is displayed and then appended to itself until the repeat option is terminated. Then
the screen is cleared and Y is displayed.
4. Current Form X -- Repeat Option = N
Next Form Option = A
Next Form Y -- Repeat Option = A
X remains on the screen while Y forms (in this example, two copies of Y) are appended
to it until no room is left on the screen. When the third copy of Y is appended, form X (or
part of it) is rolled off the screen and deleted to make room. However, if the next form
Y(1) filled the screen below X, Y(1) would be rolled off and deleted before Y(2) is
displayed.
