    BP> Just a quick question for you. I know that strings in MPL are 255   
    BP> characters, but is there a way to have a string that is longer?   
      
   Your options for now are to use Mystic's Python integration or you can try   
   using the MysticScript which does allow longer strings (available in the   
   pre-alpha releases of A47 and A48).  Otherwise I think you'd have to to use   
   multiple strings or an array of chars in MPL.   
      
   MPL was created in the 1990s and is missing a few crucial things most notably   
   are 64-bit integers and an ansistring-like type.  I may add them in the future   
   but its going to be a bunch of work, so I am experimenting with MysticScript as   
   a possible replacement instead.   
      
   I haven't fully decided on which direction to go but you can find MS in the A48   
   pre-alphas.  The latest version includes Blackjack, Tetris, and the Usage   
   ported to MysticScript.   
      
   ... APPLE: It may be slow, but at least it's expensive.
