Yes. TP compatibility. The "Text" internal record contains the buffer.
Could have a compiler switch for the user to select that buffer size I
suppose (the switch would set some compiler constant and then the compiler
would see it and recompile/link the needed file[s])
That's not how it works.
The records used to describe text files cannot be dynamically changed in size.
For optimized IO, use streams, or use SetTextBuf()
