The limit refers to the length of a script that can be "set", not the 
length of a script that can be run. This means that you can't 
distribute a standalone that allows a user to create a script greater 
than 10 lines, or have your standalone dynamically create or alter a 
script that is greater than 10 lines. But your standalones can 
contain scripts as long as you like, as long as you create them with 
a licensed version of Revolution.
