I am using Turbo Pascal 6.0 with Turbo Vision.  I want to set up
a dialog box field to input a very long string of characters
(i.e. about 5000).  I know that strings are limited to 256 characters,
and the turbo vision field is limited too.  Is there some way
around this, or will I have to input the information in several
fields and then append it all together into one array at the end?
Any suggestions would be helpful.  Please email to:

Thanks!
