Yes there is.  There a system variable called KEYTIME which you can read 
and set -- if a second keypress occurs before KEYTIME has elapsed it's 
ignored.  If your keyboard "doubles" on some keys, which was a problem 
on early examples of the 49G+, you can increase this value.  In your 
case (which I can duplicate) I suggest decreasing it.  The commands to 
recall and store KEYTIME are KEYTIME-> and ->KEYTIME (where '->' is the 
right arrow, right-shift-0.)  You can get them out of the CATalog, or 
just type them.  I suggest trying KEYTIME-> to put the current value on 
the stack, dividing by 2, then ->KEYTIME to replace.  The value is in 
1/8192s of a second, by the way.
