No, it's 256 characters max, but if you approach the problem
differently, you can get a solution.
What I do is create a text file with the line wrapping the way I
want it (i.e. use hard carriage returns) Then I create a little
non-earth mapper, size the window and center and zoom the map it
so the scale is 1:1, and parse the text file into it so that each
string is a line of text from the file. Th eresult should look
just like the file, and no line should be more than 256
characters anyway. Then I just dump that window into a frame and
it's easily dragged around a layout. The 1:1 scale also makes it
easy to have it come out right on the layout too.
It's also not a lot of mapbasic and the method could be turned
into a generic solution without too much trouble.
