Good point -- In fact I hadn't noticed that it works by
virtue of the same code which makes ">" work!
It's in the help for the next version.

Yes - This should be fixed at the server end.

This too. The last one's a bit odd, as the limit seems to
vary. Perhaps its in lines. Another thing is taht the lines
trainling spaces to 80 characters which makes them wrap aound
a 79-character terminal. They could be stripped in the server
EXEC too.
