    There are several places where input is required but you're not allowed to enter text beyond the length of the screen. This is extremely limiting on a 40 character display.

    For example:
    Using finger.js the most text I can enter is "sysop@vert.synchr"

    Another example, the ; sysop command. My menu prompt is 35 characters long, after ; the most I can enter is 4 characters, which means UEDIT, SHELL, RERUN, RELOAD etc are not accessible to me.

    I expect anyone with a 40 character display, not just my mode 7, is likely to exhibit the same restrictions.
