'Fixed' parameters for edit field control:

Max. number of columns on a line:
Parameter `ep4' has several related tasks. When the user activates Survo
operations, the system has to interpret edit lines consisting of several
words separated by spaces and commas. Also when reading tables written
in the edit field, the system must `see' the number of columns etc. In
many cases `ep4' is the maximum number of such words or numbers on one
edit line. In certain statistical analyses it will be the maximum number
of variables. Example: ep4=300 .

Max. lengths of lines and names:
Parameter `llength' (=1000) corresponds to the maximum line length in
edit fields. It cannot be changed by the user; the entire system must be
recompiled if this parameter is changed. Parameter `lname' (=256) has
also a fixed value in the same sense. It is the maximum allowed length
of a pathname in Survo functions.
