long variable error... a fix needed for 5.5.

| So, this becomes a decision as to whether to treat long variables as the
| kind that _have_ mutliple (up to 10) copies, like 2-character variables.  Or
| treat them as if they were defined on the automatic table with only one
| copy.  The rub is, of course, that they can be defined on the automatic
| table as "globaL"... not (,g) but "global" so how should they work in that
| instance, and others even more complicated... defined on CALLS, etc.
| 
| My personal feeling is that they should be _exactly_ like 2 character
| variables with the multiple copies so you could do what Nancy (and all of us
| need to do a hundred times a day....

I agree.
