Before this confuses too many people, I thought I'd chime in briefly. 
The reason you're pressing the "Repeat" button is because you're
*inserting* program changes.  If you didn't hit repeat after each
program change, you'd simply be editing the *same* event.

Think about a software sequencer's list view.  If you had one program
change on a track, and repeatedly edited the channel, you wouldn't
expect it to keep each different event, right?  You'd expect to have to
press "Insert" on your keyboard to add another event to the list.  This
is exactly what the "Repeat" button does.

PS. You can have all sorts of events at the exact same time, just not
two *identical* events at the same time.  (i.e. two C#3's at tick 0)
