Yes there is. There a system variable called KEYTIME which you can read
and set -- if a second keypress occurs before KEYTIME has elapsed it's
ignored. If your keyboard "doubles" on some keys, which was a problem
on early examples of the 49G+, you can increase this value. In your
case (which I can duplicate) I suggest decreasing it. The commands to
recall and store KEYTIME are KEYTIME-> and ->KEYTIME (where '->' is the
right arrow, right-shift-0.) You can get them out of the CATalog, or
just type them. I suggest trying KEYTIME-> to put the current value on
the stack, dividing by 2, then ->KEYTIME to replace. The value is in
1/8192s of a second, by the way.
