actually, your script counts wrong.

with:

$Fil	=	"C:\Temp\wl.txt"
$Char	=	""
$	=	OPEN (1, $Fil, 5)

for $=1 to 32000
	$Char=$Char+"A"
	? "count: " $
next

$	=	writeline (1, $Char)
$	=	CLOSE (1)


I verified that it writes 32,000 chars just fine.

I even made it write 32,001 and it didn't error either.

the limitation is not in writeline but in string manipulation routines
