We've been around this before, Richard. Since the 32K limit is not in
AppleScript but in Script Editor, and you have said before that you have
other script editors which don't have the 32K limit, could you please remind
us why you don't use them? That's what they're for. But then, of course, you
wouldn't have any excuse for using your inimical cryptic and unreadable
style, which I rather suspect you enjoy for its own sake rather than to get
around 32K limitations. Surely you must have _some_ scripts shorter than
32K?
