Well, You can write a long file name but not read it... at least not 
here in 2.0.1
e.g.

## button 1 ##
on mouseUp
   ask file "enter"
       ## Enter a file name of 150 characters)
   put "hellO" into url ("file:"&it)
end mouseUp


## the above will work ##

## button 1 ##
on mouseUp
   ask file "enter" ## Enter a file name of 150 characters)
   put "hellO" into url ("file:"&it)
end mouseUp

## the above will work ##

## button 2 ##
on mouseUp
   answer file "choose a long file name" with "OK"
       ## choose the long file name you just saved above
  put it
end mouseUp

what do you get?
