Just remember, undocumented means not in the user's documentation, it
doesn't mean the commands are there but nobody on the dev team knows about
them.

We can probably have XCMD/XFCN on Mac, and we'll also one day come up with
an improved interface (MetaCard have had this in mind for quite a while,
and when they discuss it on the xTalk list we'll try to help in making it
suitable for OpenCard, too). Besides that, the code will very likely take a
modular approach, which means you can just remove some source files and two
or three statements and re-compile and the commands you don't need are
removed.

Huh? What 30k limit? We have no limit, remember? Don't worry, it'll work
beautifully.
