Characters not displaying in a field?

[Lynch, Jonathan]

Is there any kind of similar limit for variables?

I have a script that creates html. For the app the html is being pasted
into, I cannot have return characters in it. So, after compiling all the
html into a variable, I replace the linefeeds with empty (and have tried
other means of substitution as well). Occassionally (about 1 in 10
cases) it will refuse to put the extended data (without linefeeds) into
a variable (which is just put into the clipboard, not into a field).
Instead, it will cut off the data partway into it. If I do not remove
the linefeeds, then it does not cut off the data.

I am a bit stumped by it.

This is a known limitation:  the text engine can display up to 65,535 
characters on a single line.

What is the end-user looking for in a display of 140000 characters? 
Could there be another way to present that information which would both 
fit in the 64k-per-line limit and give them an easier time finding what 
they need?
