Space for extra specifications:
Parameters `speclist' and `specmax' limit the amount of extra
specifications. When a Survo operation is activated, all specification
text (consisting of specifications in the curren subfield and in the
potential *GLOBAL* subfield) are collected to a list having a length of
`speclist' characters at most and consisting of `specmax' items at most.
Example: speclist=1000000 specmax=10000

In SURVO MM values of parameters speclist and specmax are defined
automatically.

Using very large edit fields (say over 20000 lines) in SURVO MM
may slow down certain activities depending on specifications.
To increase the speed in such situations automatic detection of
proper speclist and specmax values may be overridden by setting
the 1st control character (in front of the 1st edit line) to ' ' (space).
Then values given in SURVO.APU (or altered by SYSTEM commands)
will be valid. Also extra border lines in suitable places
speeds up operations when the first control character is ' '.
