The 999,999 lines of code may not be a mistake. Think of it like this. We currently have 9,999 lines of code we can have with PTC v2. We also currently have at max 100 characters per line. So, that would roughly be 1MB in code alone. But, how often do we use all 9,999 lines of code? How often do we use all 100 characters in a single line? What are the chances that we'd end up using all 9,999 lines of code with every line maxed at 100 characters? See where I'm getting at? In the PRG file that you cna save to the SD card, the lines of code are separated by a single character (which actually makes it only up to 99 user-inputted characters per line), so even if a line uses only 30 characters, it won't save 70 blank characters. It will save those 30 characters, and then begin the next line.

Assuming that's the case, and that the 999,999 lines is true, then it would definitely need collapsable code. The problem with that though is how would it be handled?
