I am, of course, running RISC OS.

So you're suggesting that I measure each URL length first, perhaps BGETting
it until I encounter a terminator, and then DIM a variable accordingly -
or, actually, a series of concatenating variables as I intend to BPUT them
later; so I don't really need to have a long variable, just a series of
suitable GET variables.

A number would be easier! How many?
