Recently I needed to copy one line about 20 times. So I tried
Y_anking it and 20P_utting it. One extra line, not 20.
I consulted Sonnenschein, but he is silent on P being operated
on by a 'n' modifier. 
Now I ended up by going PPPPPPP, but that's cheating.
How should I have done it?

email please, as news here will expire before I get back in
town.
