Yeah, always reference the original motd.txt file for advice. There is a charecter limit, but I dont remember what it is, I'm sure somone will advise if necessary.
This is one thing I really can't fathom though. Source will happily start up an IE object and embed it into that screen /AFTER/ you have moved off the first page, but prior to that, some borked parser/render is running. Just what exactly is the language that this parser accepts? I've managed to make at least 20 to 30 different parsing failures that are all legal HTML 3.02, 4, XHTML. Don't get me wrong, but it seems some coder got paid to write a (crap) HTML parser and renderer for no good reason than to save a little memory IF and only if the user doesn't click on a link. I am further upset to realise that the IE object instanciated seems to be persistent after clicking OK too, which seems a waste of ram, particularly for low end systems. I'd be far more happy to have either a full blown IE object every time, or a less capable mini-browser throughout, rather than this apparent cludge of two different systems. I could be wrong about whats going on, but then there are some even worse problems afoot, like why it breaks at all...
