Problem in PRT file

[Bob Rasmussen]

My recollection (from a LONG time ago) was that it was OK to edit these 
outside filePro, even if they were long, but if you tried to edit it 
internally, that would clobber it. Am I wrong on that?

I did notice that it appeared to cut at about 80. What is the limit?

It may all be a moot point. The user used a subroutine call in order to 
shorten the string, and it's all working.
