Interesting. Mine cuts off at 28 Hello 2... I wonder why they wouldn't cut off at the same length. It appears to be at character 250 on mine, but at 255 on yours. I can understand 255, but 250?

I first I assumed that I had not built the variable correctly and went back to my code, but it seems that it is a display length limit of the popup instead. Can anyone confirm this?
