You can use control-M and control-[ for repeating versions of
return and  escape, respectively.

This is true, if you can find a usable keymap editor.

)If my memory serves me correctly, the reason it doesn't repeat is because
)they had problems with early A1000s where the return key was sticking.
)Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Doesn't sound familiar to me.  I think it's not uncommon to protect
against the "catstrophic" changes that can be made by accidentally 
repeating the return key.
