numero = 26369

texte = >>> text variables (i believe) have been given larger name space (more memory> to put stuff in)>> math variables have a name length limited to 12 (i think)....I believe> text variables can have longer names (i'd verify this, but i'm walking out> the door)...a while back I ran into the 'length_of_a_math_variable_name' issue. I couldn't for the lifeof me figure out why the [math] was not working. I believe it was Grant who finallyexplained that math variables have a 16-char limit, or else they will not hold their valueon some versions of webcat (the very same code did work on another server). If I rememberright he suggested to limit the name at 15 chars just to be safe. Ken then asked if textvariables have a similiar kind of limit and Grant said no. Ken asked why... and I don'tremember if an answer came.
