Ok, it's silly season !

I've written a small test program to generate another single line PRINT
statement and found that the limit is 2,746 items in a print statement will
be printed BUT any more than this will simply refuse to print or list. All
you get is a blank screen.

The one line was simply :

1000 PRINT '1'; '2'; '3'; '4'; ......... '2746';

I tried with other max numbers but 2,746 was the final value that actually
allowed the print to work. Any more and print gave up as did LIST.

The total line length of the raw text (ie not in internal format) was 20,872
bytes.

Cheers,
Norman.
