QUIZ Long Prompts

[Peter Bell]

Hello Colin,

I have a solution for you with long prompts. I was able to embed the
Linefeed and Carriage Return characters into a string. Sample code was
tested and is shown below.

QUIZ> define q1 char*1 = &
QUIZ> parm prompt "LINE 1 *************************************** 
LINE 2 *************************************** 
LINE 3 *************************************** >> "
QUIZ> report q1
QUIZ> go

LINE 1 *************************************** 
LINE 2 *************************************** 
LINE 3 *************************************** >> 

FROM THE EDITOR

define q1 char*1 = &
parm prompt "LINE 1 *************************************** __
LINE 2 *************************************** __ 
LINE 3 *************************************** >> "

The two underscore characters are the CR and LF characters that were cut
and pasted from a log file.

NOTE: I have inserted another <CR><LF> because the editor only displays 80
characters. So the line looks chopped off onscreen.

I am using VAX architecture and if you are using HP3000 I think you will be
limited to 255 characters.
