zMUD Command String Length
 
What's the current maximum character length of a command string you can input in the command line?

I don't think there's a practical content limit (I went all the way up to 42000 characters before stopping, and it still processed functions and such), but the command line will only stretch up to about 18 lines (plus the current one) before resorting to scrollbars. Your main worry is what the game limit is, which is usually somewhere around 255 characters or so unless you have a background story option.

It's still not a good idea to put large scripts in it, though.

Thanks. I could've sworn the original command line itself was limited to 255 characters (possibly from version 4.62?). If so, was this addressed with the addition of the multiple-line command option?
