Thanks, Rick - and I hope things are equally well with you. (I'm heavy at 
work on my latest real-time piece - this time using up to 64 pots/sliders. I 
recently purchased a Doepfer Drehbank and feel the need to justify my doing 
so!)

Oeyvind's suggestion of
f1 0 8 2 0
is the best of all. (I don't quite know how I missed that one.)

Regarding a manual addition, yes. I've done a bit of followup work as well 
(as you can note below). As a result, I suggest the following three 
paragraphs be added to the "f statement" page, at the bottom of the "Special 
Considerations" section (Andres, please take note):

The simplest way to fill a table (f1) with 0's is:
f1 0 xx 2 0
where xx = table size.

The simplest way to fill a table (f1) with *any* single value is:
f1 0 xx -7 yy xx yy
where xx = table size and yy = any single value

In both of the above examples, table size must be a power of 2 or power-of-2 
plus 1.
