There's a length limit to AppleScripts (AS Editor 1.7)?

Just went to add another bit of code to my browser-cache cleaner script (for
NetScape 6.2.1) and received the following error on trying to paste the code
into the existing script:
Could not insert text because the text would be longer than its maximum
possible length.

Say what?
Does anyone know if this is a document line length limit or a character limit?
Is there an obvious way around it (such as dividing up the code into multiple
scripts and then having a master script run them)?

Thanks
