- I don't know if anyone else has noticed this or not (apologies
- if this is common knowledge), but System Flag -52 (which
- controls whether the object in level 1 displays on one or all
- four lines), does not work as you might expect.
-
- IF, however, the object being examined is a binary integer
- (beginning with '#'), it will occupy only one line regardless
- of the state of -52.
-
- It all depends on what your expectations are :-). The unexpected
- behavior you describe with binary integers also occurs with
- global names longer than 19 characters. An object which is wider
- than the stack display width will not be broken up to display on
- more than one line.
