RE: ProSel Directory size limits

Glen Bredon mentioned that version 8.1 (soon to uploaded to on-line
services) raises the limit (to about 330, I think...)

  Welp, I've got version 8.1 (had it for a few weeks), and here's the
ACTUAL limitation, right out of the manual:

"Most of the routines are limited to directories containing at most
767 entries, but more than 110 will cause truncation of file names on
the display."

  That is refering to the Utilities, of course.
