Maximum length of a LINE in a field:
65,536 characters storage
No more than 32,786 pixels wide for display

I just checked, and (LC 8 on a Mac) indeed fields fail beyond a certain
width/character limit/???
This:
on mouseUp
repeat with i = 1 to 10000
put char -10 to -1 of ("aaaaaaaaaa" & i & " ") after x
end repeat
put x into fld 1
end mouseUp
results in a field that scrolls right only until it displays about "aa294
aaaaaa295 aaaaaa296 aaaaaa2" So, something like 3,000 characters wide.
Again, something that could be worked around, but basically whether it's a
field or the DG, some sort of virtualized display seems necessary.
