Q. The Comment area is too limited!
A. It is true that the routine for entering comments is rather "primitive" and the area for entering comments appears rather small, but it is still possible to include rather extensive notes with this facility. Some persons have the impression that only 9 short lines of comments can be entered, however when the comment viewing area is "full", you can press the PGDN key to continue entering additional remarks. The "theoretical limit" for these notes is about 32000 of those 38 character lines. That would be roughly 200,000 words. The "practical limit" is much less than that, although it still allows for fairly extensive notes. Each comment line is held in a single record of the ".OTH" dataset of your family file and the ".OTH" dataset can have up to 32000 records. But that dataset also holds Marriage records, Birth/Death and Marriage Places, Education, Medical, Military and Occupation information, and these also contribute to that maximum of 32000 records. I've yet to come across anyone who is nearing this limit, although several persons have mentioned having almost 10000 name records in their family file.
