Why is there is a 99 line limit when I try to import a text file into IC-200?

The limit of 99 is for maximum number of lines on a single page. Creating a
2nd page will pickup where the first page left off. If you have a text
document that is 150 lines, you set 99 on the first page and when displaying
!Line1 to !Line99, you will see the first 99 lines of the text file on the
first display page. You would then set 51 as maximum number of lines for the
second display page to see lines 100 to 150 on the second page when using
!line1 to !Line51. You want to set the Maximum Number of Lines value to
equal the total number of lines in the document because if you don't, let's
say the second page was also set to 99 , it would show lines 100 to 150 and
then wrap around to repeat lines 1 through 49. When the first page played
again it would pickup at 50 and go to 149.

Here are the rules:

1. For each time you call on a text file the line count continues from page
to page. If page 1 ends with line 10 then page 2 will continue with line 11.

2. When last line in a text file is called on to display, then the next line
to display will be line 1 repeating and so on. This is why the Maximum
Number of Lines needs to be add up to be equal with the number of lines in
the text file. This will allow it to repeat at the right place.

3. When starting a new page the !Line variable must start over from !Line1
on up. So this means the line number on the page and not the line count for
the text file.
