I'm issuing LNDN for example and that repeats in the text console,
but not through brlapi, either in orca or my own python script.
Are you saying this is working for others?  If not, maybe we have a bug
in the brlapi implementation.  FWIW, I am using version 4.5dev rev 6833M
right now.  If there are no extra calls that should be made to get
auto repeat, I might try to debug this later and see what I can come up with.
