I cannot reproduce the problem.
Using VFP7SP1 Version()="Visual FoxPro 07.00.0000.9262 for Windows"
So what I do:
1. From a saved PRG file I add a new task.
2. Run task manager
3. right click-options-User Defined Table
4. Create additional MEMO field named test1.
5. right click-column chooser - choose field Test1
6. put some text in test1 field in grid
7. Exit VFP
8. Open VFP, open the PRG file, open task manager - all is OK!

Maybe I am doing something different from you.

At the moment VFP is not capable for storing greek characters together with characters from another CP in a given table. Set the codepage to the User defined fields table to be 1253 (Greek Windows). Note that your OS default locale should be Greek in this case.

As for the 70 character limit actually it is 74 - you can fool it using copy and paste but it will be lost after you reopen the task manager (I do not know why there is such limit and was not aware that there is until your post.) Another possibility is to have file reference in additional field - so that the filename will fit the 74 character limit.
