Re: maximum characters in a text box (how to say)

[Peter Sturgeon <prsturgeon -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

It helps if the software does something by way of intelligent design
when you exceed the limit, like beep or throw a message.

I saw an app, as a tester, that supported a 12-character limit, and
stored the first 12 characters, throwing the remainder overboard.

I thought that was pretty neat.
