[proFit-list] Data Window Info Field Problem& Feature Request

[pro Fit Support]

Andrew

The length of strings in pro Fit scripts is limited to 255. However,  
when calling functions with named parameters, you can repeat a given  
string parameter. If you do so, pro Fit will automatically concatenate  
the strings, which allows you to pass longer string values.  
Specifically, you can e.g. call

	SetDataWindowProperties(window myWindow, info string1, info string2,  
info string3).

with string1, string2, string3 being strings of up to 255 characters  
each.

As to adding a switch command, we have that on our list. No promises,  
though.
