I know I've done bash one liners that wrapped at least a full screen of
text.  There had to be a good 1000 chars in that one "line".

I am taking a class in computer science and the professor seems to

From long ago, I seem to remember that this was  256 characters was a
limitation of the DOS command prompt in Windows at one time,
but never in  the "IX's" such as AIX, Linux, Solaris, .... .

Could the knowledgeable Trilug community comment on this?

Thanks
