Send("{S down}")
Sleep(3000)
Send("{S up}")

From the FHF:

Single keys can also be repeated, e.g.

Send("{DEL 4}") ;Presses the DEL key 4 times

Send("{S 30}") ;Sends 30 'S' characters

Send("+{TAB 4}") ;Presses SHIFT+TAB 4 times

To hold a key down (generally only useful for games)

Send("{a down}") ;Holds the A key down

Send("{a up}") ;Releases the A key

If you wish to use a variable for the count, try

$n = 4

Send("+{TAB " & $n & "}")

If you wish to send the ASCII value A four times, then try

$x = Chr(65)

Send("{" & $x & " 4}")

Fabulous. Duh.

Alternatively borrow the F from RTFM and there you have it.
