SYMPTOMS
========
 
When you enter the maximum number of characters in a notes field of a
list, you will receive a message saying "That's all that will fit".
When you choose the OK button, the character or characters beyond
the 9600 character limit will remain on the screen. This gives
the impression that you can go past the 9600 character limit of a
notes field. When you choose OK to save, only the first 9600
characters will be saved. In fact you can paste more text into the field,
but once you return to the notes field, only 9600 characters will show.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
If you are over the limit and press the BACKSPACE key to remove the
character, a message telling you that you are over your limit will
appear.
