+\fBlrepeat \fIcount \fR?\fIelement ...\fR?

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
-The \fBlrepeat\fR command creates a list of size \fInumber * number of
-elements\fR by repeating \fInumber\fR times the sequence of elements
-\fIelement1 element2 ...\fR. \fInumber\fR must be a positive integer,
-\fIelementn\fR can be any Tcl value. Note that \fBlrepeat 1 arg ...\fR
-is identical to \fBlist arg ...\fR, though the \fIarg\fR is required
-with \fBlrepeat\fR.
