up.p
Executes the command in the prestore buffer.
Syntax
<ctrl>+p
Description
executes the command stored in the prestore buffer.
If there is no command in the prestore buffer, '<ctrl>+p' advances the cursor to the next page. This is equivalent to the '<ctrl>+zn' command.
When working on an 'active list', if '<ctrl>+p' is the last command in a prestore command, the entire prestore command is repeated until the list is exhausted.
See the (UP) 'zl' command for defining prestored commands.
