All,
I'm trying to set up WPDL to download weather forecasts. Problem is when I do the following:
 
IF DOWNLOADING A WEB PAGE:
  Set a Text Item to EXECUTE/NW, where the Text-Line for
  that Item defines the command:
 
   WPDL {url} {file}
 
  where:
   {url}  is the URL to download
   {file} is the file to write to (default = WPDL.TMP)

my url for the text weather page alone is 63 characters long so when I try to add WPDL
at the beginning I get "ERROR text line>65 characters". Is there some way to make the
allowable # of characters larger or can I somehow define a string as the url and the
just have "WPDL string"?
 
Also, are the {} required?
 
Any thoughts?
 
Tom
