   Hello g00r00!   
      
   26 Mar 22 11:49, you wrote to me:   
      
    BP>> Just a quick question for you. I know that strings in MPL are 255

   That's kinda what I was thinking, but figured it didn't hurt to ask. ;)

   I might have to take a look at MS. Is the syntax similar to MPL? I guess if I   
   took a look, I would be able to find out for myself...  :)   
      
   Thank you!
