How do I repeat last few commands? I know that repeating the last
command is C-xz, but what I want is repeat last *two*
comands. Thanks...

C-x ESC ESC up up ... ?

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something  
completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete  
fools.

Aham. OK. Replace "commands" with... "things" :-D For instance, I
want to remove first 3 characters in next 5 lines. I do M-3 C-d,
then press down arrow and now I want to repeat that 4 times. C-xz
repeats only my next-line. And I want to repeat M-3 C-d that was
executed before next-line too.

See Info node "Keyboard Macros" in the Emacs manual:
C-h r g keyboard macros RET

Define a keyboard macro for the operations you want to repeat, then execute
the macro repeatedly, at will.

I guess you need macros:

  (info "(emacs)Basic Keyboard Macro")

Emacs truly is the editor of the Lord. Blessed be the day I decided
to use emacs.

Anyway, thanks, keyboard macros are just what I needed.

I think there is also a way to use `view-lossage', i.e. the keyboard
history, as a template for a keyboard macro. This means that you can
even decide you want a macro for what you just typed. I don't remember
how to do it however, but I am sure someone else here does :)
