The "?" command is quirky (you can call it buggy). When I want to be exactly sure I use something else to double check it output, like
STRTOFILE(SET("PATH"), "temp.txt")
MODIFY FILE temp.txt

>displayed the path just fine with the new addition, but when I used the same code (first line above) to add "TEST2" to the path, it then truncated the path back to a much shorter length (it only showed the first seven folders in the path where before it had shown up to the first 9). I kept adding folders and at some point (right at 255), it decided to wrap the output (at which time I could see the entire path). As mentioned, MEMOWIDTH had no effect. Is this a "limitation" or a bug?
