Yeah, I        SB> know MPL isn't exactly Passcal, but I would assume that it is        SB> constrained by the limits of Pascal itself...              At least in Free Pascal, there is a string type called AnsiString, which has       no length limit. The string is null terminated, and is actually treated as a       pointer to memory on the heap.              There actually is a length limit, but it's dependent on the operating system       and the amount of memory the computer has.              I really only need a string that would be able to hold around 500 or so       characters. I wonder if I could do that with an array of char... Hmmm                     Black Panther              ... Necrophiliacs DO IT until they are dead tired.       --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: Exploring other frontiers!
