About Press Down * nDx

I'm currently learning how to use GetListItem command from the help file, and have one question.

Below is an excerpt from the help file.

//Open Display Properties
Run>rundll32 shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL Desk.cpl
WaitWIndowOpen>Display Properties

//Select Desktop Tab
Press CTRL
Press TAB
Release CTRL
WaitReady>0

//Get listindex of "Azul" in Background box
GetListItem>Display Properties,SysListView32,0,Azul,0,0,0,nDx,lvHwnd

//Select it
Press Home
Press Down * nDx

WaitReady>0

//OK!
Press Enter

Can someone explain to me what "Press Down *nDx" is supposed to do?
It is written that this command, together with Press Home, is supposed to select the item in the ListView object, but what I want to know is what "nDx" means.
I also want to know if "Press Down" a command different from "Press..." command.

Thank you.

Look at the GetListItem line of code. nDx is the return variable for GetListItem. So Press Down * nDx will press down however many times is indicated by nDx. If nDx is 5 (i.e. the list item is the 5th one) then the Down key will be pressed 5 times.
