Very Long Serial Commands:
This section only applies to very long serial commands. If a line fits on the screen (80
characters wide), it isn't long enough to worry about. But there may be times when you make a
very long command, maybe programming a voice message:
; make macro 500 speak one two three four five six seven eight
053 500 036 001 002 003 004 005 006 007 008 ; comment
There is an internal line length limit; you will get an error message if you exceed it. If you do
exceed it, check the following things: make sure there is a ';' right after the command, even if
the comment is way off to the right. It is ok if the comment exceeds the line length limit - that
won't cause an error, it just won't let you backspace once you have exceeded the limit.
If you have checked to make sure the ';' comes right after the end of the command and you still
get a message that the command is too long and overflows the buffer, remove some of the
spaces in that command. If even that isn't enough to get it under the length limit, you will
probably have to break it up into separate commands, possibly speaking the first half and last
half of the message separately.
