Note that this code will not prevent pasting or drag-and-dropping of larger blocks of text into the field. It only works for text newly typed from the keyboard.

Tested and it works fine.

Here is a slight amendment to cater for large doses of text and touch
typists who don't usually look at the screen and may wonder where the last
dozen characters went.

on keyDown pKey
 if (the length of the text of me > 254) then
  beep
else
  pass keyDown
end if
end keyDown

This allows 255 (yes that is correct) characters in a field before it will start beeping at you. This has been tested and comes with a 12" or 12sec
guarantee, which ever comes first:-)
