What It Does

Items in objects whose base class is menu and that use the on_item command may be created en masse with the repeat_item command. The command generates the number of on_item commands specified by the value of count.

The command is provided as a convenience when creating a group of blank items or items having a common message and value (represented by item_syntax).

repeat_item may be used only in an item definition block begun by either item_list or the begin_pull_down option of the on_item command.
