===== DUP  =====

===== SYNTAX =====
     = DUP( string, times )

==== PURPOSE ====


The ''DUP'' command allows you to duplicate portions of text 
within a program. This feature is especially useful when you 
need to repeat a sequence of characters multiple times, without 
having to retype it manually.

The ''DUP'' command can be combined with other commands to create
more complex effects. You can concatenate the result of ''DUP'' with 
other strings to form sentences or paragraphs. You can assign the 
result of ''DUP'' to a variable for later use. You can combine it
with other string manipulation functions to create even more customized 
effects. Displaying an increasing number of characters in a bar can use ''DUP'',
as well as to write tables or reports with fixed-width columns.



==== EXAMPLE ====
    PRINT DUP( "***", 10 )


==== ABBREVIATION ====
   Du
