Graeme, what "setup" do you refer to? PythonWin appears to have no 
configuration opportunity for changing the max size of a text 
replacement -- and indeed I can't imagine that any text editor would 
ever have had such an option, especially after malloc() was invented ...

Robert, 

It worked for me on 2.4.1 / build 204. I typed in "abc" then replaced 
"b" by "ab....yzAB...JK".

The size of the box for typing in the replacement string is only 30 
characters, but it does scroll if you keep on typing -- have you tried 
this? What makes you think it is limited to 30 characters?
