I recall seeing some language in the various HELP files for FTN95 (with Plato), to the effect that you can't have more than 32,768 characters in some of the boxes such as an %rs box.

But in the HELP files for the %eb box, no such restriction is mentioned.

Can I put, say, a CHARACTER*100000 string in a %eb edit box, actually fill it up with maybe 99,000 characters, and not get compile-time or run-time errors? Is there any restriction on how long the string can be, or how many characteris it can take (short of its declared length)?

There is no internal (library) limit since you are providing the buffer.
