BUFFER-LINES attribute

(Character interfaces only)
The number of lines a user can enter into the editor.
Data type: INTEGER
Access: Readable/Writeable
Applies to: EDITOR widget
You can set this attribute only before the editor widget is realized. The value must be an integer expression that is equal to or greater than the value specified by the HEIGHT-CHARS or INNER-LINES attributes. If equal, vertical scrolling is disabled.
By default, the AVM does not limit the number of enterable lines (although system limits may apply).
