|    MPL Strings    |
|    25 Mar 22 16:49:08    |
      From: nospam.Black.Panther@f3.n317.z1.fidonet.org              Hello g00r00!              Just a quick question for you. I know that strings in MPL are 255 characters,       but is there a way to have a string that is longer?              The reason I'm asking, is I wrote a function that will take a text string, and       wrap the text to the users terminal size. The problem I'm running into, is with       the larger screen sizes, 255 characters isn't much longer than the screen.              Would it be possible to have something like an ansistring in MPL, or would that       cause issues with the memory limits of MPL?              Thanks,              Black Panther              ...
