Cheesed off by 32xxx

[Richmond Mathewson]

What a nuisance:

There I was, merrily churning through the button titles for my Unicode 
Reference thing
[ http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=29069 ] which needed 
at least 1600 buttons
that were 23 pixels deep layered underneath each other.

What happens?

At the "Magic Number" of 32xxx I get a "this is not a number" message.

As a result I ended up restricted to 1400 buttons.

This is very bad as the Unicode glyph tables are many, and in an ideal world
I'd like 8703 buttons. But 8703 * 23 = 200169

That would involve groupig a "stack" of buttons that was 200169 pixels high.

Would be grateful if anyone knows a way to circumvent the limitation.

Richmond.
