It is a prefix argument that (oversimplification follows, but ...) multiplies the effect of the next action by 4. So, with control-U three times and an arrow key the cursor can move 64 steps in any direction. If you want to execute the current keyboard macro 1024 times, do control-U 5 times, then control-X, then 'e'. -- Robert Riches spamtrap42@jacob21819.net (Yes, that is one of my email addresses.)
