- ...except that in the case above, the client would generate 200
- separate command lines and send them to the server, which would have
- to parse them all. This costs both in net bandwidth and server
- response. It would be a lot faster to have the server do it , and
- coding something like that shouldn't be much of a task, especially if
- the "repeat" feature was a standard part of the syntax that all (or
- almost all) other commands could utilize (don't know about the last
- part, I haven't looked at GB server code in ages).
