Editor file size 64 kb limit - CONCLUSION

Hello everybody,
and special thanks to ALL veterans. Many thanks, indeed.
Could we get into habit to post the final outcome of question /
thread? Majority of the postings do turn into discussions and seldom
have a closure. That's fine, but leads to repetitions of some
postings (see "stamp won't identify" and similar as an
example).
Could the originator post a final solution message when appropriate?
I'll take a stab at it:
The latest version 2.0 beta 2.1 editor has a source code file size
limit of 64kb.
64kb seems large enough to build tokenized / object file of 2k, but
can be eaten up in a hurry when you try to define lots of constants
and comment / document your code.
( I know - real programmers do not comment their code! )
There is nothing in the editor to check for the size limit, you must
use other applications.
If you do "Syntax Check" or "Memory Map" kiss your
source file file goodbye! Editor will close and you cannot access the
file again.
Workaround:
I use good' old Notepad to shrink the file back to editor
accessible size.
Why 64kb limit?
The best guess culled from the discussions participants - limitation
of the control component used in the editor - possibly in combination
with running OS.
Cheers Vaclav
