Not using Apple's Script Editor. It has a fixed limit of some 30,000
characters in a script.

Your options are to:

1) break your script into separate 'modules', and load them at runtime using
'load script'

2) Use another Script Editor that can handle >32K scripts such as Script
Debugger (or smile? - can someone verify? I've never used it)

3) Trim your code - NOT the preferred option since this usually means
removing comments and using less-than-useful variable names (such as 'i'
instead of 'myReallyUsefulVariable' :)
