You can put an unlimited amount of text into a TextEdit text view
Probably worth pointing out at this point, since the thread is straying a
bit, that Marcus's original problem was with iChat. But as not everyone has
an iChat account, we're trying to show it in TextEdit instead.
Anyways, since almost every OSX text field that you can type into can also
accept the "Paste" command, I've suggested Marcus try something along these
lines:
--------
tell application "TextEdit"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "TextEdit"
set the clipboard to "1234567890" -- keep going for a long string!
keystroke "v" with command down
end tell
end tell
--------
Certainly TextEdit has no trouble taking a 425984 character string in this
way -- which should be enough for an iChat field :-)
Later,
Nigel
