The variable accum had a length of 110K, the field truncated that to 65-odd K,
the reload just reflected what was in the field.

Curiouser and curiouser. The code below answers 110000 65533 65533.
The field has a vertical scroll bar, unchanged from dragging it into the card.
The lines wrap.
This seems to lead to a different conclusion than your test.
Curious!
on mouseUp
local temp, accum, reload
put "1234567890 " into temp
repeat 10000
put temp after accum
end repeat
put accum into fld 1 -- 110,000 chars
put fld 1 into reload
answer the length of accum && the length of fld 1 && the length of reload
end mouseUp
