Repeat last command

 

Syntax

BD>+ : [Arguments]

where Arguments are arguments particular to the command being repeated.

The +:  command represents shorthand for the last command issued. For example, the sequence of commands

BD>print : This is an example:

BD>+ : and so is this!

BD>c : beethoven=9

BD>+ : mozart=41

has the same effect as the sequence of commands

BD>print : This is an example:

BD>print : and so is this!

BD>c : beethoven=9

BD>c : mozart=41

For macro development this feature is best avoided for it can lead to confusion with the arithmetic operator, and is not amenable to searching for a particular command. Note that in the command sequence

BD>if : %fred=3 | print : hello

BD>+ : goodbye

the repetition refers to the immediately preceding PRINT:  command only.
