String Repeat – CALL 60
This routine allows you to repeat a character and place it in a string. You
can use the String Repeat when designing output formats. First PUSH the
number of times to repeat the character, then PUSH the number of the
string containing the character to be repeated. No arguments are POPed.
You cannot repeat more characters than the string’s maximum length.
