Hello Tom - 

TL>>> Hmm. Basic supports unlimited-length-strings, right? so no
TL>>> problem? 

CA>> Generally speaking, no BASIC does _not_ allow unlimited length
CA>> strings. 

TL> Well, many BASIC implementations should :-) 

TL> What's the limit then [offtopic?] when one would write a QWK app?
TL> [ontopic!] :-)) 

The limit varies (as I remember it) from version to version of BASIC.
It's not something that can't be worked with or worked around and
nothing to fixate on as a problem when writing in BASIC. 8)
