Top level line limit?

Top level line limit?

[Jacques Carette]

A Google search found nothing, so I ask here:  Is there a hard limit to 
how much code can be pasted in to the top-level at once?

It seems that (at least from within emacs), there is a 20-line limit.  
Is that the top-level doing that, or is it something in the emacs setup?

I have no trouble handing >1300 lines at once to the toplevel... at 
least through RCaml, my toplevel LablGTK GUI. :)

If you're finding that your system's clipboard is giving you trouble,
emacs can submit the previous form to an inferior caml in tuareg mode
automatically.

Try using 'C-x e' in tuareg mode after doing 'M-x tuareg-run-caml' in tuareg
mode.  You should be at the end of the toplevel form you want to submit.

If it seems like the toplevel is only evaluating the first of a few forms,
when you paste, you might want to make sure that each toplevel insertion
is terminated with ';;' also.
