I get a beeping sound in DOS if I try to type a command line
longer than 128 characters. I don't think there's
anything I can do about that in Euphoria. Running the
command from system() inside a program doesn't seem
to help. I don't have 4DOS installed anymore so
I can't test Euphoria with it. I'm not limiting anything to
128 characters inside Euphoria itself.
