How to limit field to one line?

[simplsol at aol.com]

Richard,
I'm finding that the display of data becomes unreadable somewhere 
around 40,000 characters (this may depend on the field width settings - 
I have not experimented with that - that many characters could not be 
shown on a a screen without scrolling anyway). And, as you said, sorts 
tend to make lines with large amounts of unreadable. However the data 
itself appears to be fine; usable but unreadable.

  The text engine in Rev will accurately display lines up to 65,535 
characters. Beyond that it seems the data is maintained, but display 
yields unpredictable results. 
 
  There is a similar limitation with the sort command: on blocks of text 
in which all lines have 65,535 characters or fewer it works great, but 
beyond that it can yield odd results.
