Length of command line input [message #49553]

I couldn't find the answer to this in the online documentation but
perhaps someone has seen this before, or can suggest a good work
around.

I have a procedure which takes lots and lots of keywords, many of which
are really long filenames, e.g.
test_program,input1='really_long_filename1',input2='really_l ong_filename2',....

Eventually IDLDE running under linux decides that it has had enough and
essentially only accepts the first 500 characters (approximately) that
have been typed into the command line. (Trying to run it as a batch
file has the same effect).

Is there a limit on the length of the command line, and is it possible
to extend it anyhow?

Thanks, Tim
