Thank you Chipp, good point and I believe the limits are still as you mentioned. Seems there are twists at every change of direction! This is another limit that does not exist in the IDE but is enforced for standalones so it's good to make sure the information is out there so it doesn't get overlooked and major rethinking is needed late in the game.
