- The command @kbd{C-x C-k C-c} (@code{kmacro-set-counter}) prompts
-for the initial value of the keyboard macro counter if you use it
-before you define a keyboard macro. If you use it before executing a
-keyboard macro, it resets that macro's counter. If you use it while
-defining a keyboard macro, then the macro counter gets reset to that same
-value on each repetition of the macro. Rather than having the command
-prompt for a value, you can also specify the value with a numeric
-prefix argument. If you just specify a @kbd{C-u} prefix, the counter
-is reset to the value it had prior to the current repetition of the
-macro (undoing any increments so far in this repetition). If you just
-specify a @kbd{C-u} prefix while no macro is being defined or executed,
-then the new value of the counter is essentially unpredictable.
+ The command @kbd{C-x C-k C-c} (@code{kmacro-set-counter}) sets the
