         SPF-PC Version 1.82 (what you get if you buy it today -- or at
  least 5 weeks ago)  will edit files with records up to 955 characters
  in length, that may be 954 but at any rate it's in the 950 range.  The
  older versions may not have been able to do this.  I've not tried this
  yet, this is just what is on the edit entry screen where you specify the
  file name.
         You are so very right about the "word entity", it would be really
  handy to have this.
                                               Cheers,
